The Anglican Church Hall in Shawville was filled on Dec. 6 as revelers participated in a long-standing local tradition.
According to President Laurie Howard, the Shawville Lionettes have been putting their Christmas Cheer Dinner on for 45 years. The meal serves as a way to bring out the shut-in and isolated residents of the community, who might not otherwise get a chance to indulge in turkey and stuffing.
Howard said that 18 Lionettes, along with a few helpful Lions, were put to the task of providing food for over 100 guests.
