Additionally, please visit the Plain City Lions Club booth at the Steam Show for their sausage sandwiches and bratwursts. The Lions stand is a huge charitable money maker for the Plain City Club and allows them to carry out their good deeds throughout the year. All of the money raised at the Steam Show goes back into the local community.

Joe will be working a few shifts at the Lions Booth, so stop by and say hi. While you are there, ask him to make you a Lemon Shake Up.

The Lions Club Stand is open from 6 am to 10 pm and they also serve breakfast. You can get pancakes, sausage, biscuits and gravy, and eggs (any way you like them).

Carol Gaul will also be holding a garage sale on Friday, July 18 and Saturday, July 19 at her house, 176 Anderson Avenue, abutting the park. All proceeds from the sales will be used to help Black and Orange Cat Foundation with their spay and neuter efforts here in the community. Stop by beginning at 9 am each day.
