Lions on the prairie

Eden Prairie has a very active Lions group which I've always enjoyed.  They're a great group of guys.  They're dedicated to service but are more informal than some of the other community groups.  They raise money for important causes and do it in a way which is fun--from a pancake breakfast, to Schooner days, the Corn Feed, the list goes on.  And if they're at an event you can count on one other thing--there's a keg which has been tapped.  They always serve beer.

I was at the Corn Feed this past August and spent time talking to three of my favorite Lions--Gary, Tom and Mike.  Mike was trying real hard to get me to shuck some corn.  I was trying real hard to drink my beer. We were at loggerheads.

I'm going to have time on my hands next year and I'm thinking real hard about joining the Lions.  I'm pretty sure they serve beer at their meetings, too.
