Hundreds of Perry-area pancakes lovers dined to repletion Saturday at the 64rd annual Perry Kiwanis Pancake Festival, held for the second time at the McCreary Community Building.
The root of the word “festival” is feast, and that is just what ticket holders did, feeding on fresh-from-the-griddle flapjacks and choosing from two kinds of link sausage, the small and smooth and the large and wrinkled, plus juice, coffee and water.
Last year’s pancake event serve 799, and a spokesperson for the Perry Kiwanians estimated an equal number attended this year’s seven-hour festival.
Along with the breakfast food, a wealth of baked goods were also available for purchase. The pancake fest is the club’s primary annual fundraiser.
The Perry Kiwanis Club was founded in 1939. Guest speakers are a regular feature of their weekly meetings. Proceeds from the pancake fundraiser support the club’s service activities in the Perry area.
