You know the routine. You get up early and go to a special event for the 4th of July– but NOT before having the community pancake breakfast. It usually costs between $5 and $12, and it comes with all you can eat flapjacks, maybe some bacon or sausages, maybe a scoop of scrambled eggs, and orange juice, choice of milk, coffee or tea. The community fundraising pancake breakfast is often sponsored by Kiwanis or Rotary clubs who donate their time to cooking the meal, with proceeds benefiting some really worthy cause. You get the benefit of a hot meal and some calories to energize you and help you make it through the day to the 4th of July Fireworks at night.
