Letter to the Editor: Waukon Lions Variety Show a success

To the Editor:

A roar of approval to the Waukon Lions and their yearly variety show Saturday night.  A good crowd was on hand to applaud the St Patrick’s themed evening.  Father and son Gregg and Dolan Jones deftly handled the intros, side gags, changes, jokes, and quips to keep the show moving.

A good mix of adults, teens, and kids appeared on stage to entertain and delight.  It’s gratifying to see our high school performers trot out their pieces for the community.  The bell choir was celestial.  The dance school was charming.  The Allamakee Community Players were hilarious.

We were kept in the Lion’s den a bit too long, and the girl eating lion was too scary for the younger audience.

Waukon and Allamakee County are fortunate to have this generous group so active with their efforts to support those in need here and abroad.  Saturday night showed the “pride” we have in our Lions!
