COSTA MESA...The Costa Mesa-Newport Harbor Lions Club is gearing up for the 72nd annual Fish Fry and Carnival beginning on Friday Sept. 20 and running through Sunday Sept. 22 at Fairview Park.

The public is encouraged to come out to this longstanding community event and enjoy fish dinners beginning at 5 p.m. on Friday and support local charities and sports programs.

Money raised from the Fish Fry helps fund Childrens Hospital of Orange County, Knots of Love, Project Cuddle, Some Cares Soup Kitchen, Costa Mesa Boys and Girls Club, Save our Youth and local high school sports.

This year, the club will have its second Silent Auction and is hoping to raise as much as $10,000. The auction will take place both Saturday and Sunday.

In its 71 years of existence, the Costa Mesa Fish Fry has raised more than $6 million.
