There were a few people that spent many hours at the Lion&#8217;s Park working on lights and decor. Matt at Rocky Mountain Line was especially gracious. He donated hours of time and use of his bucket truck to get that magical tree adorned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you to the River of Life church for donating cider and hot cocoa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Santa and Ms. Claus were the most perfect addition. They almost didn&#8217;t make it all of the way into the park after being spotted at the fence by some kiddos. We hope they&#8217;ll join us again in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul

This community is a better place because of the East Missoula Lion&#8217;s and the park. *Psst: We were thinking it might be fun to have a skating rink!*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, the biggest thank you to all of you who donated lights in 2021. You left them in that red bucket under the pavilion at the park. We can give ourselves a big pat on the back for making all of the pieces come together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember if you&#8217;d like to volunteer to help with 2022 decor, we&#8217;ll take extra hands.
