Sterling Lions to host Cowboy Breakfast

This year the Sterling Lions Club will honor the Hernandez family of Proctor at the annual Cowboy Breakfast ,which will be held Wednesday, Aug. 2, from 6:30-7:45 a.m. at the Elks Lodge. Tickets are available from any Sterling Lions Club members or at the door.

 Traditionally, the breakfast has kicked off the Logan County Fair since the breakfast began in the old municipal auditorium 71 years ago. On the menu are Lions pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, orange juice, milk and coffee. Cowboy attire is very appropriate but is not mandatory. The public is invited to come, eat and have a good time. 

In 2000, Lions Club member Jack Annan thought the Lions Club should honor those who have called Logan County “home” for many years. Since this award was to be given at the Logan County Fair Breakfast, those honored usually had an agricultural background. Since its beginning, 69 Logan County residents have received the “Pioneers of the Year” Award. This year, the committee will honor a Logan County family that has farmed in the county for 100 years and still has family members farming the same ground — the family of Manuel and Antonia Hernandez of the Proctor area.
