Jungle Days District 5M2 History
With the redistricting of 5M-5 and 5M-6 in 1978, came the District of 5M-2, and the new Governor Lion Jerry Schmieg. Thus the beginning of 5M-2 Jungle Days. The former 5M-6 had a Jungle Days program, and it was carried over to the new District 5M-2.
The first District 5M-2 Jungle Days, was held on August 6, 1979 and hosted by the Faribault Lions Club, at the Faribault Golf & Country Club. Lion Dick Graf was the first Jungle Days Chairman.
Hence the beginning and continuation of the famous District 5M-2 Jungle Days.
