Lyons Township Corral marks tenth anniversary year
The Lyons Township Corral, a teen center born in 1944, celebrates ten years of operation at 16 W. Harris St. Youths formed Lyons Township Youths Organization Inc with adult advisers, raised 7000 dollars, rebuilt a garage into a center, and faced lease loss in 1946 prompting a Save the Corral drive that raised 27465 dollars. Since 1948 Shows like Sole Time ville and Corral Carousel boosted income. 1954’s Continental Caravan is planned for April 30 and May 1. The board, committees, and adult advisory group run the center with ongoing fundraising and programs for teens.
