Let the hula hoop contest begin.
Brea Country Fair - Hula Hoop Contests
As is custom, the Brea Lions are a big part of the 4th of July Brea Country Fair every year. This year our President's 1st outside duty as President of this distinguished organization is to chair the Hula Hoop and Pie Eating Contests. Boy, it would really be interesting to have the Pie Eating Contest first, and then have the contestants follow that up with the Hula Hoop Contest (sounds like my frat days)!
And they're off!
MC'ing the events was none other than the master of bull, but Lion Bill Hall! After being introduced by former Brea Lion & Mr. Brea Andy Ronquillo wearing a wig/hat I'd like to borrow, Lion Bill made these high jinks fun for all. As usual, we had two of each contest. The first two contests by age brackets were the Hula Hoop Contests. Lion President Walt had these kids and young adults performing some real circus acts. Thank God he didn't ask any of us to demonstrate. Many of us would have trouble getting these hoops around our waists!
Brea Lions helping out at the park included Mayor Lion Marty, Pres. Walt, Immediate Past President Mark, 1st VP Cliff, Secretary Ron, OCYF Treasurer & Tail Twister Bill Hall, Membership Chair Sue, Shaggy Mane Editor Ed, & yours truly.
Thank you, Brea Lions, for taking some valuable time out of your holiday!
