The successful taco venture is the result of one of the club's "biggest flops". The story of the tacos as told by the Tattletale, a Lions’ club publication goes like this: "One of the Lions largest undertakings resulted in the biggest flop. However, the local service club bounced back with their most successful and sus-. taining project yet. In 1958, the Lions prepared to feed an estimated 5,000 persons barbecued chicken, but less than 2,000 showed and the club officers were forced to sign a $1,500 note at the bank to pay the costs, Some members were eating frozen barbecued chicken a year later. "Two months after the fiasco, the Lions operated a taco booth at the county fair, and commenceéd a most lucrative enterprise which paid off the bank \ note. The taco booth at the four day fair now ‘provides more than $1,500 annually for the community improvement fund although the operation takes the combined efforts of all members and their. wives. During this past county fair (1968) the Lions used over 750 pounds of meat in preparing over 8,000 tacos," ~ R. Peter Ingram was president of the club during the 1958 59 year when the taco project originated and is reported to have formed a dislike for barbecued chicken that same year. \ Two fire departments set up new booths NEW FAIR FACILITIES have been erected by twoof the area's volunteer fire departments, At left above is the new booth of the Watt Park VFD and at right is the stand of the Gold Flat VFD. : (Union Photos) — rt soe S PemwaesEMOUe BASES PHP URwWD BPAY oe pete nn = Ps ont sa rate oH mops
