Have you ever wondered what the Lions do with all the cans we pick up from the parking lot during Hodag Country Festival?

This morning, we bagged them all up and donated them to the Oneida County Humane Society

Thanks to festival-goers, we were able to deliver two overflowing 55-gallon bags of cans!

It’s just one more way your recyclables help give back to our community.
Every can makes a difference, and we’re proud to support another great local organization while helping keep the grounds clean.

When your flip-flop blows out, the Rhinelander Lions Club has your back! 😄

Ingenuity at its best! A little duct tape, a quick fix, and they’re back on their feet and enjoying Hodag Country Festival

If you run into a minor mishap while parking with us, stop by and see the Lions. We may not be able to fix everything, but we’ll always do our best to help. That’s what community is all about! 🦁💙💛💙💛
