In August of
1966 the Libertytown Unionville Lions Club participated in
the Libertytown Volunteer Fire Department Carnival by
setting up a pizza stand where they started a tradition
which continues today. On that day, 42 years ago, the
club netted $136. In August of 2007 we netted $2,726
at the Carnival selling 478 pizzas.
On March 16, 1982, at a Board of Director's Meeting, Lion
Ethan "Junior" Summers asked the board to consider having a
pizza stand at the Great Frederick Fair. In September
of that year the club indeed had a stand there. Profit
was $1,519. We sold the pizzas in one of the buildings
for which we paid no rent. Things have changed - the
rent this year was over
$1,000! |

The following
year the club purchased a trailer for $750. Members of
the club did the necessary work to transform it into the
pizza stand we use today.
Pizza
sales is now our primary fund raising activity.
Besides selling pizza at the Carnival and Fair, we have on
occasion sold pizza at the Libertytown Recreation Council
sports events and the Liberty Elementary School events.

a gallery of pictures taken at the Fair and Carnival in the
summer of 2007.
