The food, rides and entertainment are just some of the activities which traditionally draws families and friends to historic downtown Henderson in April. Tri-Fest allows everyone to break out of the winter cabin fever and provides food, fellowship and fun for every member of the community.
The name Tri-fest is representative of our schools, churches and homes. Throughout our lives, many activities surrounding our home life, school calendars and church activities have influenced us in so many ways. The combination of all of these culminates into our community. The slogan of the Henderson Breakfast Lions Club is “We Serveâ€; the Tri-Fest is our opportunity to give back a small portion and serve the community. Over the past 17 years the club has given more than $300,000 from proceeds of the Tri-Fest. In addition many thousands of dollars have been earned by local non-profits through their food booths.
The primary interests for the Henderson Breakfast Lions Club are:
Opportunities benefiting children in Henderson County and agencies serving them
Opportunities benefiting low income families and agencies serving them
Opportunities benefiting local schools and educational programs
Assistance with start up costs associated with new programs
Opportunities benefiting the local arts community
