Kiwanis Annual Pancake Day

The club purchased the first of its two slightly-used, commercial electric griddles in 1981 to hold its first Pancake Day fundraiser. Back in those early days, this four-hour, all-you-can-eat pancake day breakfast was held in the Seminole United Methodist Church’s fellowship hall. In 1999 we moved the breakfast to the Pow Wow Festival where our Pancake Day was held outside under a large tent on the midway grounds. In 2006 our Pancake Day moved into the new recreation center auditorium. Unfortunately, after 39 years and approximately 37,000 pancakes served, the Annual Pancake Day event ended in 2021 at the beginning of the Covid-19 outbreak.

But good news……this year the Pancake Day officially returns! Our Kiwanis club in partnership with the city of Seminole’s Recreation Department will introduce its first “Breakfast with the Easter Bunny” event. This RSVP, pre-ticketed breakfast comprised of two seatings from 9-10:30 am and 11 am-12:30 pm will be held at the Seminole City Park’s Parkview Room. Besides tasty pancakes with delicious toppings, participants can have their photo taken with the Easter Bunny. Like in past years, Kiwanis Breakfast Club members stage the breakfast along with help from friends, family members and community volunteers. Additional help is provided by members of our two sponsored K-Kids clubs at Oakhurst and Seminole elementary schools.

It’s important to note that 100% of the net proceeds received from our Pancake Day are used to support our numerous community service projects through our club’s 501(c) (3) non-profit foundation.

Kiwanian David Green has chaired this event for the past 27 years!
