Lions club serves hot dogs on Halloween

Halloween spooks and scares are right around the corner, but before letting your kids fill their bellies with an abundance of candy, why not enjoy a free dinner first?

On Sunday, October 31, the Plains Lion Club is putting on their annual wiener roast at Fred Young Park at 6 p.m. The event includes a plethora of hot dogs, free to any and all who come to the event, two firepots going and a costume judging contest for kids ten years and younger.

The first place winner will receive a savings bond, the second place winner will receive $10 cash and third place will receive $5 cash.

“The wiener roast is for everybody--it’s not just the kids; we include the adults and those people that haven’t had supper will have a bunch of hot dogs until we run out,” said Al Amundson, Plains Lions Club Member.

Also taking place at Fred Young Park will be trunk-or-treat event. Any and all are welcome to decorate the trunks of their vehicles and back them up into the park for all people to see. This event is put on by the Plains Chamber of Commerce and was started a few years ago.

The point of having decorated trunks surrounding the park is to provide safety for the kids while they play at the park Halloween night and stop them running into the street, said Carol Day, trunk-or-treat organizer.

The kids get to judge the trunks and the winner will receive $50 in chamber script to be used at local businesses. It will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Sunday.
