Lions thank Longhorn for Breakfast with Santa
That phrase is a driving force behind the Farragut Lions Club, a volunteer service club that donates all proceeds to community service projects related to vision, hunger, senior and disaster-based initiatives throughout the year.
Their Vision Van — part of the Smoky Mountain Lions Charities vision van program — is particularly notable, as eye exams and glasses are provided free of charge.
But the club also hosts newer events, such as the first-ever Breakfast with Santa on Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025.
That morning, Lions president Tyler Hunsaker donned a red suit and beard to greet children at Longhorn Steakhouse in Turkey Creek.
Almost four months later, on Wednesday, April 8, Hunsaker and fellow Lions officer Tom Nitz returned to Longhorn to present managing partner Stephen Coley with a plaque as a thank-you for his help in the event.
