Each year, Jim Converse kindly donates his time and talents and carves a bird to be auctioned off at the Plain City Lions Club Auction. This year, Jim really outdid himself with an eagle holding a shield and a bundle of arrows in honor of the Great Seal of the United States.

Stop in the pharmacy and take a look at Jim’s eagle before the auction. We have it on display on the front counter. You can’t miss it. And once you see it, you will want to bid on it!

You can bid on Jim’s eagle at the auction, along with several other great items, including: Four Michelin tires, one week’s use of a Florida condo, a fishing trip on Lake Erie with Captains Richard Murray and Roger Weeks, Spanish lessons with Lion Veronica Taylor, and a garage door opener.

The Lions Club Annual Dinner and Auction will be held on Thursday, April 26, in the Banquet room at Der Dutchman Restaurant in Plain City at 6:30 pm.

Tickets are $15, which includes a family style dinner and entry to the auction. The meal will be served at 6:30 pm. Tickets can be purchased at True Value Hardware (see Lion Perry Yoder), Schrock Automotive (see Lion Bill Davis), and here at the pharmacy (see Joe). The auctioneers this year are Geoff Smith, Frank Roby, and John Hammond.

Join the Plain City Lions Club on Saturday, February 18, from 7 am to 10:30 am at the Plain City Presbyterian Church (231 East Main Street) for an “All You Can Eat” Pancake Breakfast. There will also be sausage. The cost is $6 for children 6 and older and for adults.

Advanced tickets can be purchased here at the drugstore, at Schrock Automotive, and at Yoder’s Hardware. Or you can just pay at the door.

In the event of a snow day, the Pancake Breakfast will be moved to Saturday, February 25.

So come out with your appetite and support the Plain City Lions on February 18. We hear that Roger Weeks will be flipping pancakes and he is a tremendous cook! YUM!!

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.

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.
