Norris Lions Club – Norris Day Celebration on 7/4/09

Norris Day Celebration

Norris Day Celebration

From the Powell Lions Club 4th of July Parade and picnic, Past District Governors Kaye Forester and Clare Crawford took me to Norris, Tennessee to visit the 41st annual Norris Day Celebration sponsored by the Norris Lions Club.

Hop over to visit the Norris Lions Club web site!

The Norris Lions were all over the park, and they were easy to spot in their Lions shirts with “Ask Me” on the back. What a cool idea!

I met Past District Governor Dean Harshbarger and his wife, Lion Nellie.

I didn’t get to see many of the Lions who were working up in the dining area selling barbeque, but I did meet some who were working the grill.

Tough Guys!

I didn’t have room for all their photos here, so go to the photo album from the Norris Day activities or enjoy the slide show of all the photos at the bottom of this post.

I also saw more Anderson County High School Leos. . . a few familiar faces from the Day with the Lions, plus some!

They were having a great time with duck races, and hopefully raising a few bucks in the process.

I missed the children’s bicycle parade, but saw several bikes that were all decked out with red, white and blue patriotic creativity.

I stopped by the Volunteer Fire Department’s dunking booth and gave that a shot.

The fella in the booth didn’t have much to worry about, because I was throwing with mitten paws and couldn’t see where the ball went after throwing!

Everyone was having a great time during the festivities, but if I go to too many more events with the hot air/bounce games for youngsters, I’m gonna be tempted to jump in!

I couldn’t quite fit my head in one of them here, but it sure looked fun!

I just don’t remember having those when I was a cub :-)

I continue to meet a lot of nice people of ALL ages.

Thanks to Klent Pope for sending me the photo with his son, John Zye.

Some of the middle school and high school students wanted pictures with me on their cell phones, while the little ones thought I was just an over-sized stuffed animal!

I wish I could have stuck around for the evening program and fireworks. But, it was a long, hot day for this Lion.

Now I know why Lions in the zoo are less active and sleep all day!

Congratulations, Norris Lions Club on a wonderful community event!
