Pancake lovers can celebrate this weekend
Two area groups are serving Groundhog Day "all-you-can-eat" pancakes this coming weekend. Both events are fund-raisers and cost at each is by donation.
On Saturday Peabody Community Fund will host community supporters from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the senior center in downtown Peabody.
Money raised will go into the unrestricted fund for PCF to cover annual grants the organization makes and operational costs of administering the fund.
Anyone not eating his fill on Saturday may want to travel to Florence Saturday to a similar event hosted by Florence Fire Department at the Florentine Center.
The Florence Groundhog Pancake Feed also will begin at 7 a.m., but will last a little longer than the Peabody feed with serving coming to an end at 1:30 p.m.
Florence firefighters are hoping to purchase a new brush truck for fighting rural fires. Funds from the annual pancake feed will be used for the new truck.
