Lions busy during Quarry Days

Members of the Dell Rapids Lions Club contributed several hours of community service over the Quarry Days weekend. They performed free vision screenings for 57 children, referring three of them to eye care professionals for follow-up examinations.

Club members also took care of trash in the city park, picking up stray items, hauling full bags to the dumpsters, and replacing bags in the trash barrels. "The Quarry Days crowds are pretty tidy," said Lion Marlowe Hovey, "That makes our job a bit easier."
