Harrington Hall in Chapeau was filled with the smell of frying flapjacks on Sunday morning as the local Lions Club held what is likely to be their last pancake breakfast of the season.
David Brisard, President of the Chapeau and District Lions Club, explained that the event is held monthly during the winter as both a fundraiser for the club and a way to get the community together during the dreary part of the year. He said that this month’s attendance was down, likely due to the dump of snow that arrived the night before.
“We normally get around 100, 110,” he said. “This morning with the weather, if we get 50 or 60 we’ll be happy.”
Out of the 28 Club members, Brisard said that eight or nine participate each month on a rotating basis. He estimated that the Club has been putting on the breakfasts for at least a decade, if not more.
“We’ve got a pretty good gang,” he said.
Up next on the Lions’ schedule is their annual Good Friday Fish Fry, on April 19, which Brisard said is one of their major annual fundraisers.
