Norwich Lions Club Fair

The Norwich Lions Club Fair is a popular annual tradition, sponsored by the Norwich Lions Club, that will occur this year August 11 - 14 on the Marion Cross School playgrounds after a two-year Covid hiatus.

It will feature many of the activities that people have enjoyed over the years, including the midway, rides, and fireworks. See: https://norwichlionsclub.org/norwich-fair/  [Link].

In the Meadow Muffins contest, participants “buy” one or more numbered plots of land in a fenced-in area for $20 each, for which an assigned, randomized number matching a corresponding “deed” has been assigned to each plot. See: https://norwichlionsclub.org/norwich-fair/events/meadow-muffins/  [Link].

Participate on line through the 32 Auctions site at: https://www.32auctions.com/MeadowMuffinsContest2022  [Link], where you will find more details. When you buy a plot you will be sent your number in the contest by email, together with a “deed” to print out for your enjoyment and your records.

Demo Sofronas and Donna Wheeler are selling numbered deeds the old-fashioned way, as well.

On August 14, up to three heifers will be brought into an enclosure with the plots laid out in a grid to determine the winner and runner-up by depositing a “meadow muffin” on the squares of two lucky prize recipients!

First Prize: Up to $1000 (10% of gross receipts) -- 1 in 500 (or better) chance of winning.

Second Prize: Up to $500 (5% of gross receipts) -- 1 in 499 (or better) chance of winning

Third Prize: The satisfaction that you contributed to a good cause! (up to 498 in 500 chances)

If you are a winner, you will be notified by email or phone. Your invoice, delivered by 32 Auctions is the primary record of which deed you have. For face-to-face sales, you will receive a numbed deed.
