Scio Lions Club Strawberry Festival Cancelled

The Scio Lions Club wants to let the public know that we are cancelling our annual Strawberry Festival, which was to be held on June 20, 2020. This decision was made with the health and safety of our community in mind.
We have all been affected by the cancellations, closings, and safety measures that have been put in place to control the spread of Covid-19. Even though the pandemic curve is flattening, we feel that it would not be in the best interest of the public to host a large social gathering.
Because the Festival is one of our main sources of income, the Scio Lions are looking for ways to be able to raise funds to support our community projects. Some of the events and programs that the Scio Lions support include the school backpack program, Senior Class scholarships, eyeglasses for qualifying students, helping with ramps, the Blind Association, the SPCA, and fun events like the town Halloween and Christmas parties.
As we find new ways to raise funds to provide support to our community, the Scio Lions thank you for continuing to support your local Lions.
Together, as we face the future, it is our hope that you all remain safe and healthy.
