Lion’s Club annual hamburger fundraiser was a roaring success

Friday September 6 the Olney Lions Club held its popular hamburger fundraiser that Olney citizens have come to expect every year.

A good portion of the town turned out to help support the local chapter during a very busy weekend that was filled with local events. Despite the numerous events, the Lions Club members believe their fundraiser was well attended.

Club President Luren Campbell said, “The hamburger fundraiser had a good crowd and appeared to be a success.”

When passing through the long line, the members and volunteers who served the burgers commented on how busy they were, stating “service had been continuous for the entire two hours.”

Patrons said Herb Bernhardt, also known as the grill master, did a wonderful job grilling the hamburgers that were served with generous trimmings, potato chips, brownies with ice cream and sweet tea.

The proceeds will go toward various projects in Olney.

The Lions Club members said they are grateful to everyone who participated to make the 2019 event a roaring success.
