Jamboree goers of all ages visited the 63rd annual annual Verona Lions Jamboree at the Verona Lions grounds on July 4, 5 and 6. The event, which is one of Verona Lions' major fundraisers of the year, usually begins on a Thursday but this year it was moved ahead one day and commenced on the Friday due to Canada Day falling on Tuesday and midway staff not being able to set up in time for a Thursday opening. That being said, the three-day event included everything regular jamboree goers have come to expect, including the midway rides that this year included a new Surfs Up ride, games of chance, bingo under the pavilion and of course the Lions famous Jamboree burgers.

The next big summer fundraiser for the Verona Lions will be their annual garlic festival, which will take place at the Lions hall on Sat. August 30.
