Several members of the Canton
Lions Club will be a little stirred up
Saturday morning as they prepare to
serve about 900 pancake breakfasts.
For the past 10 years, members of
the club have been serving the morn-
ing fare to the crowds at the Liberty
Fest and this year, once again, they will
be pouring batter onto grills, flipping
pancakes and cooking sausages to ben-
efit those with visual and hearing chal-
lenges.
Chairman of the pancake breakfast
for the second year is Lions Clubmem-
ber John Anthony, who is also the
President of the Lions Foundation.
Anthony was quick to note that the offi-
cial name of the event is the Canton
Lions Club Foundation Annual
Pancake Breakfast. This is the second
year the foundation is the beneficiary
of the funding generated from the
event which is all used to support char-
ities that deal with vision and hearing
loss.
The breakfasts, which include three
pancakes hot off the griddle, two
sausage links, and juice or coffee,
along with syrup and butter, are priced
at $6 for adults and $3 for those
younger than 12. Breakfasts are served
in the tent inHeritage Park from7 a.m.
until noon, or until they run out of pan-
cakes, Anthony, a lifelong Canton resi-
dent, said.
Lions Clubmembers and volunteers
start work months in advance and on
the Thursday and Friday preceding
the breakfast, they are picking up
equipment and supplies preparing for
the event where they usually serve
about 900morningmeals.
There will be three shifts of volun-
We start at about 5 a.m.
and we have three shifts.
More volunteers
come at about 7 a.m.
and then the clean
up crew is
there after that.
