Each year the Lion club host a variety of local events to produce money to buy glasses for the children of Houston county and the surrounding area. One such event is the car show held each year on the second Saturday in October. Some years the weather works for us. This was one of the years the weather agreed although it started off a little foggy. The photo here is of Ray Bates the winner of this years show favorite. The winner of the best in show was a turquoise 1957 Chevy convertible and a beauty it was. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who entered their cars and the folks who visited the show and made donations. As usual I took MORE PHOTOS
Seeing is believing and last week at the regular meeting of the Lions club we discovered that 20/20 vision may not be as good as we had been taught because there other factors inplace that could affect how we interpret what we see. For instance young people are naturally far sighted, so the test that the Lions Club give is usual on far sight. Instead they should always give the near sighted test. But in Houston County we are lucky because of grants we have a program in the School called bridges that in skilled hands can dectect some of the problems that could affect how we interpret what we see. Then we can refer our children to a doctor who could them offer answer to correct these. This weeks speaker to our club was the Doctor that Sherry Nolan had used for her own kids problems.
