Local Lions Club Will Provide Free Vision/Hearing  Screenings July 30, 2018

As part of Community Involvement Day, the Foothill Lions Club will provide free glaucoma and vision screening services as well as free hearing testing to adults and children at the Nevada County Fair’s Community Involvement Day on Monday, July 30, from 1 – 6 pm at Gate 1 at the Nevada County Fairgrounds.

For the vision screenings, the Lions will utilize the Northern California Lions Sight Associations Vision Screening Unit, a fully-equipped motorhome that is designed to offer no-cost glaucoma and visual screening services to those who otherwise might not be able to afford it. The services are available for adults and children. The Lions Club will be staffing the unit, and local optometrists –Dr. Jerry Chan, OD and Dr. Tiffany Chan, OD – will volunteer their services for the day.

New this year, Foothill Lions will also be offering free hearing tests for adults and children. The testing will be provided by Sol Barros, an audiologist specialist from Audiology Associates Hearing Center who will donate her time for this event. All screenings at this event are free, as the Foothill Lions Club covers all costs.

The free hearing and vision screening is provided as part of Community Involvement Day, a day to donate items to nonprofit organizations – the Food Bank of Nevada County, Foothill Lions, Nevada County 2-1-1, NEO Youth Center, Story Club, Community Beyond Violence, Cinderella Project, The Karing Closet, Gold Country YMCA, Nevada County Pets in Need, Nevada County Diaper Project, and The White Barn Project – in exchange for coupons for buy one, get one adult admission tickets to the Fair.  Or, donate blood through BloodSource on that day and receive a free admission ticket to the Fair.  The organizations will be at the Fairgrounds Gate 1 parking lot and Main Street Center on Monday, July 30, from 1 – 6 pm.

This year’s “Bushels of Fun!” Nevada Cunty Fair is August 8 – 12.  For information, visit NevadaCountyFair.com.

    Thanks to Foothill Lions Club and the community for its support

    The Nevada County Fairgrounds Foundation’s first annual Cioppino Feed was a huge success, thanks to community support, a sold-out event, and a successful auction.

    Held last weekend at the Fairgrounds, Chef Arnie Romanello created and served his special 100-year-old recipe to a sold-out crowd.  A special thank you goes to the Foothill Lions Club for donating their time and services to the event, as well as to the Cool Hollow 4-H Club for serving the guests. Thank you to SPD, Raley’s, Save Mart, Grocery Outlet, B & C True Value Hardware, A to Z Supply, Sara Lee Bakery, Hills Flat Lumber, Mill Street Clothing, Nevada City Winery, the Hawkeswood Family, and Safeway for their donations.

    “We are so grateful to our community for supporting the Foundation and its events,” said Ed Scofield, President of the Fairgrounds Foundation. “As state funding is eliminated from our community Fairgrounds, it’s more important than ever to do what we can to support our Fairgrounds to ensure that it remains a viable part of our community for generations to come. Continued community support at events like this will ensure that happens.”

    The Nevada County Fairgrounds Foundation was established in 2005 to fulfill its mission of supporting and improving the community’s Fairgrounds.
