From The Lions Den ~ Looking Ahead to the Festive Season

Submitted by Lion Lona Lineham
I just returned from a month-long holiday in Europe and was expecting to return home to snow ---- what a pleasant surprise this weather has been.
The Black Diamond Campground was suppose to close down on October 1st but there were so many people who did not want to leave until after the Thanksgiving long week-end and many bookings for that week-end, our attendants decided to extend the closing until October 15th. I believe we had a full house over the week-end.
Turner Valley is having their "Family New Year’s Eve Party" again this year. There will be skating, face-painting, music, bon fire, free hot dogs and hot chocolate and wonderful fire works about 9:00pm. This evening is like an old fashion New Year’s with family and friends. The Foothills Lions gave the town $1,500 to purchase the fire-works.
More about that time of year------ Black Diamond has it's "Christmas Light-up" each year with Santa Clause arriving and giving out gifts. The Foothills Lions donated $1,000 to help with that project and the Lions will also bring Santa in that night.
The weather is nice -- where are all the Bingo players? The next Bingo will be held on Friday, October 28th at 6:30 pm.
