Community flags bring in close to $5,000 a year

Poulsbo Lions contracts with local businesses to put up flags 11 times throughout the year on holidays. This brings our club almost $5,000 to put back into our NK community!

Extra lunkers bought for April 30 fishing derby

Our Hooked on Fish event for kids aged 12 and under is set for Saturday, April 30, from 7 am to 2 pm. Bait and some poles will be available, as well as general help. Our Poulsbo Lions bought an extra $500 worth of BIG fish.

Our flag program brings in close to $5,000 to use in NK Community

Lion Joe Stenstrom holds several of the flags picked up from our Hwy 305/Poulsbo Village route. The Poulsbo Lions set up flags along three routes for Presidents Day. The other routes are on Front Street and Viking Avenue.

This is how it works - businesses sign a contract for only $50 per year (for one flag) or $100 (for two flags). Lions set up and take down the flags on 11 holidays throughout the year.

If you'd like a flag at your business, please contact Lion Dick Prine at (360) 779-2475.

We have lots of things going on and coming up - Tulips for sale for $10/pot, Hooked on Fish the last Saturday in April, White Cane Days the first Fri/Sat/Sun in May, Viking Fest Pancake Breakfast and Strawberry Shortcake Booth (May 20-22), a Photo Calendar....
