The show is being held Friday from 4-9 p.m., Saturday noon to 6 p.m. and Sunday 1-4 p.m. with free admission. It is being run in conjunction with the Fish Fry Friday night from 5 to 8 p.m.. Tickets for the Fish Fry are $10 each and admission to the sports show is free. Zurich Lions chairperson Bob Heighington said the club is trying to grow back and with the opening of the community centre it was an opportunity to take on a new project. "It seems to have taken both for the club and for the community to boost the name of Lionism" said Heighington. Starting next year, the Zurich Lions club will be 60 years old. Heighington said it is a good way to try and encourage more enthusiasm. "Over the years, it's been a club that has been very supportive of the commu- nity and we would like to see that back again." Heighington said there would be about 30 displays in the show, covering a wide variety of products, including boats, trail- ers, motorcycles, sign makers, mini air- planes, hot tubs,farm machinery and canoe making. The OPP will also be on hand to talk about boating rules. With most of the exhibitors in the show local merchants, Heighington said he was impressed with the talent in the area. "It's showing up here with all the differ- ent people supporting their community." He added they have had great support from the Municipality of Bluewater, who have kept them informed all the way through the building process. "The mayor and the staff have been so co-operative, it just made the job we did and the risk we took so easy. It's one way to encourage people to support the club again." The Lions hold their regular meetings at Erb's Country Kitchen the second and fourth Wednesday of every month.
