Pork Theft Dampens Cromwell Fundraiser

Someone stole 350 pounds of pork from a Lions Club in the Noble County town of Cromwell. The club discovered the theft Sunday morning, when members went to the town community center to retrieve the food from the center’s walk-in freezer. The club had planned to cook up the porkburgers and hot dogs at a Cromwell festival Sunday, to raise money for scholarships for West Noble High School students. Cromwell Lions were able to borrow some pork from the Ligonier Lions Club, but they still weren’t able to raise as much money as they would have with their own food.
