It was a busy weekend, and a popular time for pancake breakfasts around the 71st District!
Friday was the Galesburg Lions Club annual noon and evening pancake day. A great crowd and awesome pancakes. Thank you, Lions, for all you do serving the Galesburg area.
Saturday morning, I attended the Bushnell Fire Protection District pancake breakfast at Prairie City. There were outstanding pancakes and a great group of dedicated emergency responders.
Later that day we headed to the Sherrard Fire Department Taco supper. It was a great day – we saw many old friends and made some new friends as well.
We started our Sunday morning attending a pancake breakfast at the Doric Lodge #319 in Moline. I had an opportunity to tour the former dentist’s office and now lodge. One gentleman commented, he can still hear the drill while he attends meetings because the dental chair was in the same room as the meetings are held now. After breakfast another stop at home to do a quick wardrobe change for participating in the polar plunge. A great turnout and a lot of fun.
