Great weather, great corn, great pork chops—all combined for a great Lafayette Lions pork chop/corn roast Saturday evening. Thank you to everyone who came of the meal, and for all the Lions and volunteers who worked together to make it another success. Special thanks to the 4-Hers from Bernadotte and West Newton who provided extra workers. The kids did a great job of 'pushing corn' for seconds, thirds and more! Great job!!! Rick Franta, Larry Mages and the Lafayette Band provided music for the evening. This was the first Lions corn/hog roast that I've been able to be at since 2015. I'm normally working at the state fair by the time the roast rolls around. It's only when Labor Day is on September 7 that the fourth Saturday of August comes up before State Fair starts.
