Who doesn't like a summer Jamboree? That is what the Verona Lions count on for what has been one of their biggest fundraisers for the last 62 consecutive summers. Thanks to the weather, this year’s event, which took place at the Verona Lions Centre on July 4, 5 & 6 attracted sizable crowds that numbered well over 1000, who enjoyed the sizable Crown Amusement midway and games; Lions bingo under the pavilion; numerous games of chance; a 9 hole mini golf course; and a 50/50 draw. Those who came with an appetite enjoyed the famed Lions jamboree burger complete with fried onions. I caught up with the Dark family and youngsters Calvin, Ezra and Cala who were enjoying a ride on the carousel and who made the trip to the jamboree with their grand parents and great grandmother from Ottawa. The next big upcoming Verona Lions event is their annual Garlic Festival, which will take place at the Verona Lions Centre on Saturday August 31 from 9am-2pm. The Verona Lions Centre is located at 4504 Verona Sand Road. For more information visit www.veronalions.ca
