Do you remember when the circus lions escaped at Lawrence in 1978?
It's the 40th anniversary of the day Lawrence people will never forget this Friday, when two lions, Sonia and Sultan, escaped from their enclosure at Simpson Park and roamed the town.
Lawrence folk are having a wee unveiling of a plaque to commemorate the drama, at Simpson Park, at 5pm.
Had a lovely time discussing it at Waitahuna School yesterday and about story-telling in general with the pupils.
