In 1988 the club purchased 48 American flags which we have since displayed along Wythe Creek road on national holidays throughout the year. In 1990 the Kiwanis club was one of four civic groups to organize and construct, and operate the Poquoson Recycling Center. One of the most successful in the State. The voluntary drop-off station has since been replaced by a regional authority. In 1992 the club accepted it's largest challenge ever.
Fund raising is accomplished in many ways.
Our oldest and most popular is our very famous annual Pig Roast. It has been held every May since it was started by Fletcher Gray in 1976. In September 1996, just after the Seafood Festival, the Kiwanis Club sponsored the biggest circus under a tent in the United States. Hundreds of young children from Poquoson schools witnessed the raising of a large tent by teams of elephants. Over 5000 people attended the two sold-out shows under the tent.
