Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic the Wakita Lions Club has decided after much consideration to cancel the annual Settlers Celebration for September 19th 2020. As a group we have decided that this is best for the health and safety of our community. The last thing we want is anyone getting sick from the event and have decided this was best course of action to take. We plan on resuming the celebration the following year in 2021. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thank you for understanding.

Wakita Lions Club.
