Obviously, we intend to hold an event that is safe and fun for all participants and our volunteers. For those reasons. the event format may be adjusted as we move forward. We will update this webpage as needed to assure that everyone is immediately aware of any changes that are needed.
The PreFat Event is our largest annual fundraiser. All funds are used to support our community service activities, including continued improvements to Silverthorn Park just north of Seeley, and the construction of a new, public warming cabin on the Seeley Trails. We welcome and appreciate and additional donations you are able to provide to the Seeley Lions to help us continue these efforts!!
