The Verona Lions do many wonderful good deeds for the community, and with 69 vendors and a pay-what-you-can entry fee, their Garlic Festival on Sept. 3 was an excellent fundraiser for the many programs they support. What an extremely well organized event; the Lions even offered free dog sitting. Many people could be found in the open pavilion where Wayne Huff played and sang his highly amusing songs. The highlight was the presentation of the Eastern Ontario Garlic Awards. The Champion is Denis Craigen; Reserve Champion is Anne Janssen and Honorable Mention went to Bill Kirby. The winner of the longest garlic braid was Catherine Cheff, with at 24 foot-long braid containing 336 bulbs.
