Lion of the Year

Countdown to Watermelon Day brings some hot inside scoop that you'll only read here before it hits the papers (awesome, we are like the Drudge Report of Stanhope now). Any how, one of our readers sent along this great announcement.

The Stanhope Lions have selected retired bus driver and longtime Lion member Dale Hanson to be the "Lion of the Year" and as such, he was recently presented a plague by Lion President Dean Larson. Lion Hanson will be the "Grand Marshal" for the 2007 Watermelon Day Parade.

A very special Stanhope State shout out to Dale. He was this Watermelon Warrior's bus driver from kindergarten to 2nd grade. Great tribute. Be sure to wave and tell Dale congrats at the parade this year.

Special hat tip to Wayne Romp for passing along this info. Which give us a good excuse for a quick Campus Notice.
