Better Living Show set for the weekend

February 22, 2012

It’s time once again for the Panhandle Lions Annual Better Living Show, which will be held at the Texas County Activity Center, Feb. 25, fro 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. and Feb. 26, from 12-5 p.m.
The event is the group’s largest fundraiser of the year and the funds raised are used for community outreach projects, such as the Kids Christmas Shopping Spree.
Lions Member Marvin Andrews reports, throughout the show more than 31 vendors will be on hand and live entertainment and various activities are scheduled.
On Saturday at 2 p.m., the Alma Folkloric Dancers will be performing, followed by western music by Murry Beisly and the Texas Lady. On Sunday at 2 p.m., the OPSU Jazz Band will be performing and also at 2 p.m., children 6-12 years old will have the opportunity to dig for dollars.
“Fifty gold dollars will be buried in the sand in a stock tank and the kids can dig around to find them,” Andrews said. “We will let the younger one’s go first.”
Both days, a money jar will be set up for guests to guess how much money is in the jar. At the close of the show on Sunday, the money will be counted and whoever guesses closest to the amount of money will win the amount of money in the jar. The winner will be notified and receive a certified check from the City National Bank.
In addition, the Lions will be raffling off two freezers full of meat, one Saturday and one Sunday, both at 4 p.m. Each five-cubic feet freezer will contain beef - courtesy of National Beef in Liberal, pork - courtesy of Seaboard, ribs - courtesy of Hunny’s and beef roasts - courtesy of the Heritage Community in Guymon. Tickets for the raffle are $1 each or 6 for $5 and can be purchased from any Panhandle Lions Club member or at the door.
