The 65th year of Pancake Days in St. Joseph is this weekend.
Brad Campbell with the St. Joseph Host Lions Club said this is their largest fundraiser of the year.
“A lot of people know the Lions Clubs here in town regarding our fruit sales, our Pancake Days and between all of our events, the three Lions Clubs here in our community, we put back over 25-30,000 every year back into our community through local donations,” Campbell said. “This has always been a great event for us. People turn out, it’s a very family fun-oriented event on the Pancake Days. Pair up against your sibling, find out how many pancakes you can eat at one time… bragging rights for a year.”
All you can eat pancakes and sausages will be served for $7 at the door. Milk, juice and coffee will also be available.
The funds raised go toward the Lion’s mission for sight research, area charities and eye glasses for St. Joseph Community members that need them.
The Annual Lions Club Pancake Days run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday at the East Hills Mall in the Food Court.
