Members of the Cold Spring Lions Club were pullin,’ pickin’ and shuckin’ on Saturday (June 8) at Glynwood for their fifth annual fundraiser with oysters, barbecued chicken and pork, and live music. The event raised $7,500 to assist the blind and for diabetes and pediatric cancer research, among other projects, said President Curt Landtroop, who will finish his term on June 30 and be succeeded by Ginny Pidala.
