Last year it was back to the conventional way, and this year, hopefully even more will enjoy it that way. Thursday is Kiwanis Pancake Day at the David S Palmer Arena in Danville. This year’s coordinator from Kiwanis Club of Danville is Wes Bieritz. Two years ago, they had a huge assist from McDonalds, due to COVID, to keep Pancake Day alive. But last year it was the usual cooking right there as everyone comes in, with about 2,100 attending. Bieritz says it sure would be nice to get back to the 3,400 peak level they had prior to the pandemic. And of course, the funds raised go to about 20 Vermilion County youth charity programs, awarded usually during a program in late winter/early spring. Bieritz says, as always, this will take an all day team effort.
AUDIO: There will be, probably as many as 100 people at one time or another helping us out, including some school people, college people from DACC, and other folks from Kiwanis Club to help set things up. So it’s a really big operation.
Kiwanis Pancake Day, this Thursday at the David S. Palmer Arena, begins at 6 AM, and runs all day until 8 PM. Tickets are available at the door.
