The Clark Lions Club has long had a strong presence at Clark Lake.  Because of the Lions, Clark Lake is a better place, and along the way they have added a “fun factor.”  Here’s an example.  On January 26, 1974, the Lions sponsored an ice festival at the Columbia Township Park at the west end.  The event featured airplane and helicopter rides; also snowmobile, ice skating and motor cycle races.  The Lions invited WIBM 1450 Radio to broadcast live at the event.  Check out the actual audio!
