The Verona Lions 25th annual car show, which took place on a scorching day back in August, brought in quite a haul.
“We raised over $15,600, after expenses,” said car show organizer John Nizman, “and the Lions are pretty good at figuring out how to use the money to help many community groups.”
The total was $15,680, and the money was given out at a gathering at the Loins Hall on October 11. The groups who received money not only demonstrated need, but also provided volunteers to make the car show a success.
The rest of the proceeds, over $4,000, is going to other community programs and some is going to relief for the damage from Hurricane Fiona
The recipient list includes: South Frontenac Museum - $2200, Frontenac Fury Hockey - $3500, Southern Frontenac Community Services $1500, Harrowsmith S & A Club $1500, Verona Harrowsmith Ball Association - $1000, Sharbot Lake Lions - $300, Frontenac Scouts $500, Bellrock Hall Association - $1000.
The rest of the proceeds, over $4,000, is going to other community programs and some is going to relief for the damage from Hurricane Fiona
The Car Show is already being planned for next year, when it will be moved to September in the hope of some more moderate weather. It is set for Saturday, September 16, 2023.
