SIKESTON -- Lynn Feeler will once again take her spot at the stove, carefully stirring up the chili for the Lions Club Chili Day.
Ask Feeler what makes the Lions Club chili so good and she laughs, saying: "It is good, but I can't tell you. It's a secret."
But she is more than happy to reveal what all the chili supper enables the club to do.
"Folks are helping to support the worthy causes in the community by enjoying a bowl of chili and a superdog," Feeler said. She then ticks off the list of groups and causes the club has donated to ranging from the Kenny Rogers Children Center to the Veterans Park and from the Humane Society to Missouri Delta Medical Center.
This year, as the club members gear up for the 39th annual Lions Club Chili Day, they hope to bring out even more people to try their chili enabling them to support even more needs.
Last year, the Lions Club Chili Day moved to the fall. Club members moved the date just a bit earlier this year to Oct. 3, co-ordinating it with a Sikeston High School-Jackson High School football game.
