Pancake Days

Kiwanis Pancake Days is the Signature Project for the club. Started in 1953, Pancake Days have provided pancakes, sausage, and beverages to the community for 69 years. The only years Pancake Days were not held were during the 2019 and 2020 due to Covid-19. In 1953, the club served approximately 350 people. Fast forward to 2024 when 12,245 were served.

Community Days are the first Friday and Saturday of March, and pancakes are served from 6:00am to 8:00pm with large crowds both days. The following Monday through Wednesday, Kidz Days are designated for students from local elementary schools to have pancakes provided by class sponsors. Both individuals and businesses in Lamar County sponsor classrooms at $150 per class. Transportation to the Fairgrounds is provided by area school districts. In 2024, approximately 5,000 students enjoyed pancakes.

Pancake Days is the major fundraiser for the club which provides scholarships for Key Club members as well as supports all of the other projects of the club. In 2024, over $27,000 was given in scholarships to Key Club members from four schools. A list of other project for the club can be found at About Us.
