Poulsbo Lions finish Fish Park boardwalk phase
After many Saturdays, Poulsbo Lions Club members finished the latest Fish Park boardwalk project, though it wasn't without drama.
A large tree had been uprooted and had fallen close to the almost completed viewing platform. Lion Scott showed up with a chainsaw, but handed it to Lion Garvin, who straddled the trunk and began lopping off branches at top speed.
Another job well done!

Lots of fun at annual picnic
Summer temps arrived just in time for the Poulsbo Lions' annual picnic at Nelson Park.
Lions cooked hamburgers, kielbasa, and corn on the cob. Everyone brought something to share with their fellow Lions and family members. It's a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere where everyone gets the opportunity to get to know each other a little better.
Lions Dottie presented past King Lion Mike Regis with a scrapbook commemorating his year as president. Lion Lynnea did the same for immediate past president Ryan Smart.
Lion Irv had four generations of the Spellman family at the picnic. And Lion Ginger brought a pinata for the kids to break.
King Lion Matt and his family enjoy candy from a pinata. |

Poulsbo horse comes in a winner
Polish Dollar came in first in the Poulsbo Noon Lions Club Purse at Emerald Downs on July 28. The purse was $6,200.
The horse is owned by a woman (Sharon Radke), trained by a woman (Debbie Van Horne), and ridden by a woman (Deborah Hoonan-Trujillo). Polish Dollar had a time of 0:56.4 in 5 furlongs.
Lion Doug Mong organized the outing for the club. Some came home with empty pockets, while others had a bit more than they'd left with. Lion Sandi had a chance to win $500, but it wasn't to be.

Viking Fest pancake breakfast at new city hall a success!
After the Armory was flattened earlier this year, our club scrambled to find a new location downtown for the annual Viking Fest pancake breakfast. We ended up in the parking garage under the new city hall building, thanks in part to Mayor Becky Erickson.
Lion Elda Armstrong, Miss Poulsbo's little sis, Miss Poulsbo, and Lion Herb Armstrong. |
Thousands of pancakes were flipped and served, along with sausage and eggs, making the breakfast a big success and raising thousands of dollars for high school scholarships.
