The Bay Port Fish Sandwich Festival will return this summer after taking 2020 off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, though it will still look different than in years past.
The 43rd edition of the festival will run on the weekend of August 7-8 at McLeish Memorial Park in Bay Port, with Saturday’s hours being 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday’s hours being 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The festival will also be curbside-only so that attendees do not have to get out of their cars to pick up their fish.

PHILIPSBURG: - The Sint Maarten Lions Club was chartered on December 12th, 1970, and will celebrate 50 years this coming Saturday. The idea for starting a Lions Club on Sint Maarten was initiated by the late Lion Donny Bakhuis, who was a government auditor and visited the island for work from the Federal Government in Curacao. The Club was eventually chartered by the Bonaire Lions Club with Lion Ben Vlaun serving as its first Lion President with 22 Charter members.
Since this was the first service club on the island in 1970 it took some time for the community to understand and accept this service club concept, because it was not a religious, fraternal, or political organization. Nevertheless, with proper leadership, the Sint Maarten Lions Club promoted itself through its many selfless activities that met varied community needs on the island.
