This spring, Lynn has really been thrown to the Lions…the Lions of the Fox Valley. In preparation for the Wisconsin premeire of Disney’s “The Lion King” at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in Appleton, more than 50 lion statues painted by local artists have been placed throughout the Fox Cities. The lions will be on display until the end of July when they will be auctioned off as a fund-raiser for the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center’s educational programming. Visitors are encouraged to come to the Fox Cities for a lion hunt photo safari and find every statue. More information can be found here.
