PG Lions ca. 1946The Prairie Grove Lions Club was organized October 4, 1946, with the following officers: J. Frank Holmes, president; Lee Jones I first vice-president; Clyde Rutherford, second vice president; Charles E. Woolverton, third vice-president; Delford E. Rieff, secretary; Bill Wainwright, Tail Twister; G. E. Wiswell, Lion Tamer; Vincil Bell, Layton McCoy, Dr. Frank Riggall and Dr. Jeff Baggett, Board of Directors. The Charter was presented to the Lions at a special banquet meeting attended by more than 160 members and guests. The meeting was held in the Fellowship Hall of the Methodist Church, with Dr. Will H. Mock serving as master of ceremonies. The program included the Invocation by Rev. Alf Eason, pastor of the Methodist Church; Song, "The End of a Perfect Day," Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Dorman and R. E. Cunningham; Lawrence Delap played two piano numbers. J. F. Holmes led group singing. "We Serve" is the motto for the Lions Club and over the years members have served in many capacities. "Sight Conservation" is a major concern of the club and many fund-raising projects have been carried out by the local club to benefit the program. For many years the Lions Club's main fund raiser was barbecued chicken dinners served during the annual Labor Day three-day celebration (clothesline fair) People came from far and near to enjoy the chicken which was prepared on long grills set up by the Lions for the occasion. The Lions donated concrete tables and benches, and various playground equipment to the Park. They also developed the recreation area", at Budd Kidd Lake with picnic tables and benches and a ballfield.
