Poulsbo Lion Emalee Burgh now wears the Miss West Sound crown!

Emalee received scholarship money at the Miss West Sound program Oct. 4 at the Central Kitsap High School auditorium. Lions Pat & Sherri Burch and Pauline & Karl Ostheller attended the event. The Poulsbo Lions provided a $1,000 scholarship to this program.

Congratulations Emalee!

Making a huge difference in kids being able to see well

 

Vision screening at the Fair

FREE vision screening at the Fair! It's quick, painless and you get a sticker! Miss West Sound Outstanding Teen Cecilia Sanchez of Poulsbo is helping out with Lion Laurie Carson.

Update: PEP President Dave Risley said 707 children were screened with 211 getting referred on for further testing.

 

Hooked on Fish back with 2-pounders!

 

 

It was amazing to host another Hooked on Fish after two years of not having it due to Covid-19. We had lots of Poulsbo Lions on hand to help with pole set-up, bobbers, bait and tips. We had royalty on hand to brighten the day, which started out rainy. And we saw some 2-pounders caught by more than a couple kids. Also, for the first time, we offered $25 to the kid catching the biggest trout - thanks to Hudson Auto Center.

 

Cashel Jacobson brought in two big trout. The biggest was 19-3/4". He was there fishing at the pond by Poulsbo Middle School with his two brothers and dad.

 

Five-year-old Nico Bustamante of Bremerton was more than happy with his catch! He caught two (the limit) and was going to get this one cleaned, thanks to Lions Lee Metcalf (7-10 am shift) and Dick Prine (10-1 shift).

Here we have Miss Washington Evergreen Pre-Teen Sydney Brandt of Bremerton on the left, Miss West Sound's Outstanding Teen Reyna Blackwood of Silverdale in the middle, and Miss West Sound Austin Douglas of Lakewood.

 

 

This mom helped save her son's fish when the line got caught in a branch. Both the branch and fish were brought in safely.

 

The pond was surrounded by kids and their parents, grandparents and even great-grandparents.

 

Our Poulsbo Lions enjoy Hooked on Fish as much as the kids do! Fortunately everybody was able to get bait before Lion Scott Puhn (left) ate all of the worms. We even had a guest, Quilcene Lions President Craig Uchida (next to Scott).

Lion Tom Settle keeps the lines, hooks and fishing poles in good shape. Our Poulsbo club has many poles to lend to kids who don't have their own.

Lion Lee Metcalf volunteered for fish-cleaning duty.

Julia Ann Salazar smiles as her dad shows off her big catch, which measured 18-1/4".
