The Uniontown Lions Club is sponsoring its 29th Annual Festival for our community to raise funds for the support of our various community service and outreach programs. This year’s Lions Festival will be held Wednesday, August 14th through Saturday, August 17th, 2024 at the Hartville MarketPlace.

The 2024 Festival Theme is “Uniontown Lions, Serving our Community.” The GRAND MARSHAL for this year’s Festival is Kelli Viscounte. Kelli is the founder and President of Love Our Community.  LOC is a local non-profit that provides care and resources for people/families in need.

The festival consists of a 50/50 drawing twice nightly, rides, food vendors, product service vendors and other crafters as well as live Entertainment nightly.  Bingo is played Thursday thru Saturday and there is a parade at 5:00 PM on Saturday. The festival concludes with fireworks on Saturday night at 10:30.

During the festival, a Vision Screener for children will be available at the Lions Tent. In less than a minute, the vision screening provides immediate screening results. A one-page summary will include the vision assessment and screening results for such conditions as: near-sightedness (myopia), far-sightedness (hyperopia), unequal refractive power (anisometropia), blurred vision, eye structure problem (astigmatism), pupil size deviations (anisocorial) and eye misalignment (strabismus). No physical contact is made with your child and eye drops are not required. Vision Screening has proven 95% effective in detecting the above-indicated vision issues.
