Grant awards preceded by flapjack race

People have always managed to get their fill of pancakes and sausage at Peabody Community Foundation’s Pancake Day, but this year they’ll have a chance to run off some of those calories with a new wrinkle: a pancake race.

Hotcakes fresh off the griddle and local sausage will be served starting at 7 a.m. Saturday at Peabody Senior Center. Donations to support the foundation will be accepted.

Early eaters may want to come back with skillet in hand at 10:30 a.m. to get in on the all-new Flippin’ Pancake Race. Kindergartners through adults are eligible, and participants should bring their own skillets. Minors will need a signed release form. There is no entry fee.

Grant awards selected from among 14 applicants will be announced at 11 a.m. Representatives from each applicant are encouraged to attend.

PCF, a Central Kansas Community Foundation affiliate, granted $10,864 to 10 Peabody area charities or projects in 2017.
