Burlington Lions’ Fundraiser Oktoberfest to be Held at Notre Dame

It’s that time of year…but the Burlington Noon Lions Club’s annual Oktoberfest celebration has moved.

Organizer Rod “Doc” Kellogg says it won’t be held at the Port of Burlington on the downtown riverfront; this year’s homage to all things German is in the Notre Dame High School gym on South Roosevelt.

Everything else remains the same — it’s tomorrow(Sat) from 4 – 10 pm…tickets are $7 in advance from Lions Club members and local financial institutions; they’re $10 at the door.

Another “fest” in the area…in the morning tomorrow(Sat)…is the Louisa County Bacon Festival at the Wapello Flea Market; that’s the old auction barn.  Alliant Energy customers in Lee County can get big discounts on landscaping trees for their yards, tomorrow(Sat) morning. Operation Re-Leaf is from 9 to 11 at the fairgrounds north of Donnellson.
