MOSES LAKE – Space Burger fans will be able to purchase their favorite midway food at the Moses Lake Lioness Club booth at the Grant County Fairgrounds from April 19-21.

Those who do will be supporting the Columbia Basin Cancer Foundation and the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. There will be no admission fee to get into the fairgrounds.

In year's past, the Lioness Club of Moses Lake has opened the Space Burger booth in the spring months. There is another opening during the Grant County fair in August.

On April 19-21 the booth will open all three days at 11 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.

Space Burgers were made famous at the 1962 World's Fair in Seattle that featured the Space Needle and the then futuristic monorail.

The Moses Lake Lioness Club was able to purchase the machines and set up a booth out at the Grant County Fairgrounds to serve hungry customers twice a year.

“We've got more than 1,600 Space Burger fans on our Facebook page who just love their Space Burgers,” Lioness Michaelle Boetger said.

A Space Burger is a sandwich made with two pieces of white bread, seasoned ground beef, lettuce and a special sauce similar to Thousand Islands dressing.

The entire sandwich is toasted inside the Space Burger machines. They are toasted into a round shape. Therefore, the name Space Burger.

The Space Burger is very popular at the Grant County Fair. It can be purchased only at the Grant County fair, and the lines are always long.

“And the proceeds from the sale of Space Burgers goes back to the community through various donations throughout the year,” Boetger said.

The Lioness request all larger orders be ordered ahead of time by calling 770-1698. Pack’s Delivery will also be taking orders and bringing Space Burgers to your door.

You can reach Pack’s Delivery by ordering online at www.packsdelivery.com or by calling 762-1234. You are advised to be prepared for long lines and delays in deliveries.

The purpose of the Lioness Club of Moses Lake is to foster a spirit of interest, friendliness and helpfulness among its members and to cooperate with the Moses Lake Lions Club in their philanthropic projects.

The Lioness Club of Moses Lake is a non-profit organization with ongoing projects such as scholarships and numerous other donations given to the local community, all funded by the club’s efforts at the Space Burger booth at the Grant County Fair.

Many individuals, groups and community projects have benefited from the efforts of the Lioness Club of Moses Lake. To help support the community, Boetger advises, you may consider joining.

Membership is open to women age 18 and over. Meetings are held the third Monday of each month at the Immanuel Lutheran Church at 1020 South A Street in Moses Lake at 6:30 p.m.
