If you

listen very closely, you can hear the rumbling already.

The

rumbling comes from the stomachs of all the people

eagerly awaiting the Kiwanis Club of Peachtree City's

annual Pancake Saturday.

This

festival of flapjacks continues to grow each year,

thrilling participants with pancake eating contests, live

entertainment, face painting, exhibits and all the

pancakes and sausage that you can eat. The festivities

will be at McIntosh High School, beginning bright and

early for breakfast at 7 a.m.

One of the

first activities on Pancake Saturday will be the

Corporate Challenge. Representatives from area businesses

and churches will face off in a pancake eating contest.

This year's corporate challenge has a very special guest,

president of Continuous Forms and Checks and mayor of

Peachtree City, Bob Lenox.

The regular

pancake eating contest will begin at 10 a.m.

There will

be activities going on for the duration of Pancake

Saturday, including a live broadcast from Magic 96.7 FM,

performances by the Peachtree City Fire Department

clowns, barber shop quartets, a performance by Music

Machine, face painting, helium balloons and the Fayette

County SafeKids Coalition will be on hand.

Tickets are

on sale now and can be purchased from any Kiwanian,

McIntosh and Starr's Mill High School Key Club or Boy

Scout Troop 181 member, and at T. Buggs, Atlanta Market

Finds, Rona's Florist and both Great Frame Ups.

Tickets are

$3 in advance and $4 at the door. Pancake Saturday will

last 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Needless to say, that's a lot of

pancakes.
