Pancake
breakfast served up by PTC Kiwanians this Saturday
Mmmmmm, pancakes
and sausage.
The Kiwanis
Club of Peachtree City is getting ready for its 10th annual Pancake Saturday,
which will be at McIntosh High School this Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The annual
event features all you can eat pancakes and sausage, face painting booths,
balloons, a barbershop quartet and, as always, the highly competitive
pancake eating contests. This year there will be three contests. The Kiwanis
Club of Peachtree City has issued a challenge to other Kiwanis Clubs at
10 a.m. The Children's Challenge will begin at 11 a.m. and the Ministers'
Challenge will begin at noon.
The Kiwanis
Club estimates that members use 800 pounds of sausage, 600 pounds of batter,
10,000 ounces of syrup and 100 gallons of coffee each year.
Many local
banks have helped sponsor this year's event and raffle tickets are available
at BB&T, Bank of America, 1st Community Bank, First Union, Heritage
Bank, Peachtree National Bank, Regions Bank, Southern Community Bank,
Sun Trust, Talbot State Bank, the Bank of Georgia and Wachovia for a chance
to win a case of Thomas Packing Company's sausage, which is the sausage
featured at the event. The Wyndham Peachtree Conference Center donates
the pancake batter mix each year.
J93.3 FM will
have its Family Fun Patrol at the event from 9-11 a.m. and will give away
prizes.
There were
3,051 tickets sold to last year's event, which provided over $8,500 to
be used to support a number of events in the community. Proceeds from
this event are placed directly back into the community.
The Kiwanis
Club of Peachtree City has served the community for 29 years. It meets
every Monday at the Wyndham Conference Center at 7 a.m. for breakfast,
fellowship and the opportunity to visit with informative speakers or programs
of interest. Some examples of the causes the club supports are the Children's
Miracle Network, Meals on Wheels, Special Olympics, the Independence Day
Parade, VOCA and the Joseph Sams School, as well as many others.
Tickets to
the 10th annual Pancake Saturday are $4 per person and can be purchased
in advance from any Peachtree City Kiwanian.
