It’s great to have the fans and interaction on Facebook, so keep it up, and I’ll do better here.

I have revised the way my photos are displayed and now you can view photos from two different pages:

• A gallery of photo albums for 2009 events can be found on the 2009 Photos page
• A gallery of photo albums for 2010 events can be found on the 2010 Photos page

To catch you up on my events since the last blog post, I’ve been a busy Lion!

December 2009 brought cool weather (which I really enjoy) and three Christmas Parades with Lions:

• Morristown Lions Club on December 3 (view photos)
• Powell Lions Club on December 5 (view photos)
• Oak Ridge Lions Club on December 12 (view photos)

I helped the Halls Lions Club with a public relations/awareness booth at the Knoxville Center Mall (view photos).

I participated in the Lions District 12-N Convention in February and managed to get into some mischief at the Friday night social, and learn a thing or two during Saturday morning sessions (view photos).

I joined with the Halls Lions Club, West Side Leos and other Lions to walk in the 2010 Dogwood Arts Festival Parade in Knoxville (view photos).

I participated in the Walk for Sight to help raise money for the Lions District 12-N Charities’ White Cane Agencies (view photos).

I visited the Knoxville Tri-County Lions Club Car Show (view photos), but didn’t last too long in the heat and humidity (bring back winter!)

On July 3, I participated in the Powell Lions Club Independence Day Parade (view photos) and the Norris Day Celebration.

I’ve got some pretty exciting things planned for August and September, so be on the lookout!

Looking for Business at the Secret City Festival

It was hot, hot, hot at the Secret City Festival! I was able to find the Oak Ridge Lions booth where I met Lions Joe Henderson and Jim Bailey selling mops, brooms, light-bulbs, and pecans.

Visit the Oak Ridge Lions Club web site!

I’m not much use in handling cash or lots of products with my paws, so the best I could do was help generate interest to the booth.

My sign was handy as I walked through the festival with Lion Joe.

However, I really need free paws for waving, high fives, and hugs, so Lion Joe ended up being the walking billboard for the booth while I had most of the fun!

Lion Joe was also able to take some terrific photos that he shared with me.

Only a couple are on this post, so check out the entire Secret City Festival photo album here!

A Lion Hunting

A nearby vendor had these cool hand-made guns and a shooting range right there at his booth! He offered to give me a running head start before hunting me; but what’s more interesting: going Lion hunting or a Lion going hunting?

Ha! Despite my limited visibility, I was still able to hit the target for 2 of 4 shots! All the big game hunters better look out for Lions’ Revenge!

Lions may be the “King of the Jungle” but the bald eagle is one of the most majestic creatures I’ve ever seen. I was definitely in awe, and Lion Joe captured the beauty of this bird magnificently!

I’m sure there will be even more people mingling around the festival on Saturday, which is a great opportunity to raise awareness about Lionism.

But I’ve got other plans tomorrow. . . so much to do! I don’t know how many sales the Oak Ridge Lions Club was able to make, but definitely another fun outing for me!

Keeping Roaring!
