The Plain City Lions Club recently showed their support for our local fire and police departments by giving each of them a check for $500.

Representing the Pleasant Valley Fire Department were (from left to right), Brody Dille, Terry Sanders, Mike Johnson, Greg Parks, and Ryan Mclain.

Plain City Police Chief Hill accepted the check from the Lions Club on behalf of the Plain City Police Department.

Chief Scott Skeldon, Lt. Brian Bemiller, and fire fighters Derek Hess and Jamie Adams accepted the $500 for the Jerome Township Fire Department.

We are very thankful to have these heros working in our community to keep us safe!

The 62nd Annual Miami Valley Steam Threshers Association Show and Reunion gets underway this week from Thursday, July 14 through Sunday, July 17.  The show, which takes place in Pastime Park, will feature Cockshut/Co-op tractors, the National Scale Model Show, as well as the Ferguson’s Summer meeting. 

To find out more about the schedule, see photos, or download a show flier, click HERE. 

Additionally, please visit the Plain City Lions Club booth at the Steam Show for their Bob Evans’ “Farm boy” 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. 

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).  

The Plain City Historical Society will also be sharing space with The Friends of The Plain City Library at the Steam Show.  Stop by and find out all the great things these two groups have to offer. 

And don’t forget to attend Black and Orange Cat Foundation’s 5th Annual Garage Sale all four days of the Steam Show beginning at 9 am each day (maybe sooner if Carol Gaul has her coffee). All proceeds from the sale will be used to spay and neuter area kitties. The sale is located at 176 Anderson Avenue, which abuts Pastime Park.

The group is still taking donations for the sale. If you would like to make a donation, please contact Carol at 614-419-1553.

On Monday, May 16, Lions Richard Baas, Melvin Boerger, Ray Merrill, and Ben Cosgray went to The Gables in Marysville to surprise Dale Rausch with the plaque announcing that he was “Lion of the Year” for the Plain City Lions Club. Dale’s wife Rosemary, and his son, Phil, were also at the presentation.

We can think of no better person to receive the Lion of the Year award than Dale, who is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Dale is Grandpa to Racine and Kayla Hostetler, who both used to work in the drugstore (and have now gone on to bigger and brighter futures).

Congratulations, Dale. You truly deserve this award.

If anyone would like to send Dale a card, you can mail it to: The Gables at Green Pastures, 390 Gables Drive, Marysville, Ohio 43040-8358.

We know Dale would love to hear from his friends in Plain City.

The annual Lions Club Dinner and Auction will be held on Thursday, April 28, at 6:30 pm at Der Dutchman Restaurant in the banquet rooms. Besides a hearty, homestyle meal, which includes two meats, sides, salad, dessert, and a beverage, there will also be tons of cool items that will be auctioned off.

Dinner will begin at 6:30 pm, but attendees can arrive at 6 pm. Please don’t arrive any earlier than 6, as the Lions members and Der Dutchman staff will be setting up for the evening. The auction itself usually starts around 7:30 pm.

Tickets are $15 per person, which includes your meal and admission to the auction, as well unlimited jokes and entertainment by the Lions members. Tickets can be purchased here at the drugstore, at Schrock Automotive, and at True Value Hardware.

Some of the auction items that you can bid on include a one week use of a Florida condo, four Michelin tires, a 3-piece luggage set, and a one day fishing trip on Lake Erie with Captains Murray and Weeks. Jim Converse’s carved birds, a male and female blue jay, will also be featured in the auction.

Please come for an enjoyable evening. And, remember, bid high and bid often. All of the money made is used to support projects and organizations in the Plain City community.
