The reconstructed Lion’s Den food booth at the Cumberland Fair was dedicated Sept. 25 to Randy Plummer, a longtime member of the Cumberland/North Yarmouth Lions Club who died of cancer last month of at age 62.
Plummer was a resident of North Yarmouth. His sons, along with dozens of other community members and Sen. Susan Collins attended the ceremony at the fairgrounds. Collins was served the Lion’s Den’s first burger and noted the “remarkable effort” that went into reconstructing the booth.
Over $100,000 of building materials were donated and 2,400 volunteer hours were committed to the restoration, according to the Lions.
