Sunday Shout Outs

This year’s commemorative papel pin from the Stanhope Lions

Your Sunday Countdown to Watermelon Day leads to less than 3 weeks for the 50th Stanhope Watermelon Day. And since we have been in the mood for Stanhope State Shout Outs, we end the weekend with a big one.

A humongous Stanhope State Shout Out goes to the Stanhope Lions Club. I wonder if the original organizers ever imagined that this event could keep going for 50 years. One of the big reasons for the longevity of this great event is the leadership and hard work of the Stanhope Lions Club. Of all of the great projects and causes that the Lions get involved in, this event is their baby.

So here’s to you Stanhope Lions, here’s to 50 more.

    We had a great time at watermelon day 2007!

    I grew up in Fort Dodge and came to many in my youth, as Ron McKenzie is my uncle.

    I now bring my wife and 4 kids every year. It is one of the highlights of our summer. A special day for sure to us.

    I loved watching the softball tourney this year. At one time the big band was playing and the softball was in play and wow.....

    Thanks to all who work to make it happen!
