On April 4, 1929, the Plant City Lions Club was formed. From the very inception, the Lions Club has depended on the citizens of Plant City and the surrounding communities to support the club's endeavors to provide eye exams, eye glasses, and all of the other projects that the Lions Club takes on.
During our history, we have been privileged to have as members of our club, some of the finest people in East Hillsborough County. Many have served as president, some as district officers and chairman, some as state chairman and two have held the prestigious office of District Governor. The late Fred Alley served as District Governor in 1959-60 and Bob Lastinger served in 1986-87.
The Lions Club and its Auxiliary have been the proud sponsors of the Strawberry Festival Queen's Pageant since its beginning.
