Piping hot pancakes in the PMAC

For the last 59 years, the Downtown Kiwanis Club has been holding their annual Pancake Festival, serving up an all-you-can-eat buffet of buttery pancakes, sausage and OJ to waiting crowds. This Saturday, you can be there for their 60th. For just $4 (for advance tickets, tickets are the door are $4.50) you can have as many fresh, hot pancakes as you wish. With just this small entry fee, the Kiwanis Club manages to raise between $40-70K each year, and has generated over two million dollars from the event since its inception. The morning will also feature an all-ages youth talent show,  a student art competition, as well as a display of the past 90 years of Kiwanis club history, as this year’s breakfast coincides with the organization’s 90th anniversary. 6 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on LSU Campus.
