Heat, Heart, and Hamburgers at Lions Carnival | St. Louis News

This year’s Webster Groves Lions Carnival turns 100, but sweltering heat, a weekday, and the World Cup kept crowds down—though shade and an air-conditioned first aid station helped. Folks battled 100+ temps with neck fans, while sizzling BBQ, rides, and live music kept spirits high. The event funds local heroes—from fire and police to kids’ eyeglasses and service dogs—and one veteran grill master, cooking for 25 years, says it’s all about helping those less fortunate. The carnival’s still going: Friday 5–11 p.m., Saturday 2–8 p.m. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn Advertise on DNN:[email protected] This is an automated, high-level news summary based on public reporting.Report issues to [email protected].
