ACTIVITIES

The Hemphill Lions Club participates in numerous activities throughout the community and throughout the year. We conduct two major fund raisers annually that allow us to continue to support our projects and give back to the community.

AMATEUR TALENT SHOW

Each spring we conduct the Annual Hemphill Lions Club Amateur Talent Show. This community event allows local amateur talent to perform and compete for cash prizes. Over the years we have had some fantastic talent and always a good time with song, dance, and theatrical talent showcased alongside the comical hosting of local Master of Ceremony personalities.

No entry fee for contestants.

Tickets are available at the door with all proceeds going to support our local projects.

HAUNTED HOUSE

Each fall we conduct the Annual Hemphill Lions Club Haunted House, "A Nightmare on Barber Street". This event is for the thrill seeker in everyone from young to the not so young! A cast of scary characters inhabits our Barber Street location near downtown Hemphill. After an escorted tour through the winding maze inside the house, trick-or-treaters are taken outside for a hike down our spooky trail.   

Early tours available for young children before dark with full on scariness after dark.

Tickets available at the door with all proceeds going to support our local projects.

The first Saturday in December marks the kick off of the holiday season in Hemphill Texas as the Hemphill Lions Club presents the annual Christmas Parade.
