Look For The Lions at the Durham Fair

The Killingworth Lions booth offers corn dogs and fried dough pizza.

Members of the Killingworth Lions Club will take to their permanent booth to raise funds as part of the annual Durham Fair.

The Lions are located opposite the First Aid Station, on the main food intersection (three-quarters of the way up the hill).

Funds generated by fairgoers’ food purchases will be used to support our youth programs, eye-related causes, scholarships and our many community initiatives. Lions fund the Pediatric Eye Center at Yale University, free Vision Screenings and the Low Vision Center.
