Candidates Campaign at Lions Breakfast

Lansing politicians turned out for the Lansing Lions Club Fall Pancake Breakfast last Sunday (10/30). Some campaigned, some helped cook and others came to eat. The breakfast presented one of the last opportunities for candidates to reach a lot of voters.

Mike Sigler (R), who is running for the County Board District 6 seat, was outside the Lansing Community Center bright and early, handing out flyers and talking to voters about tax reform and other hot issues. Later he was joined by District Attorney George Dentes (R), who is running for another term. He was giving out post-it pads with his name imprinted on each sheet.

Hurf Sheldon (D), who is running against Mr. Sigler, was inside cooking eggs at the griddle. He was part of a team of nearly 40 Lions who ran the event. Volunteers cooked eggs, French toast and pancakes while others sold tickets and brooms. Boy scouts served coffee, tea and hot chocolate. The proceeds of the breakfast help fund the many civic projects the Lions sponsor around town.
