Thanks to ALL who made our 82nd Annual Pancake Day a success, and helped us serve those who served us diligently on the front lines this year. We served 1,200 free pancake and sausage meals to firefighters, law enforcement officers, healthcare workers, and other first responders. https://www.kfvs12.com//nd-pancake-day-honor-front-line-w/

ANNOUNCING: Our 82nd Annual Pancake Day will be held on Wednesday, September 30th as a FREE EVENT for law enforcement officers, firefighters, first responders, and healthcare workers in our area. (Sorry, this is complimentary event limited only to these groups. We will not be selling pancakes to the general public.) We would like to take this opportunity to give back and THANK these fine folks for serving on the COVID-19 pandemic front lines. We will deliver carryout pancake and sausage meals to your vehicle at the south side of the Arena Building. Watch for signs, and simply show your department or employer credentials. We look forward to serving YOU from 7AM until we run out of pancakes! Please pass this along to anyone serving in this capacity in the Greater Cape Girardeau area!

Postponement of Pancake Day was disappointing, but community support has been tremendous. If you'd like more information about the "behind the scenes" decision, you can listen to a great interview with Tony Smee, 2020 Pancake Day Chairman, and Faune Riggin of KZIM, that was broadcast this morning. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2wOC0qR1HPXtk37R5lakLT

Upon recommendation of the Cape Girardeau County Health Department, the 82nd Annual Cape Noon Lions Club Pancake Day scheduled for Wednesday, March 18, will be postponed until a later date. Details surrounding the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) are changing rapidly, and local, state, and national health agencies and municipalities are working diligently to reduce the potential for widespread exposure by limiting large-scale gatherings. Since several thousand ar...ea residents are regularly served during Pancake Day, it was determined that the prudent course of action was to postpone next week’s event. The Cape Girardeau Noon Lions Club is proud of the longstanding tradition that provides tens of thousands of dollars for charity, but the safety of the community we love so much is our first priority. We are humbled by the community support Cape Girardeau Noon Lions receives each year, and appreciate your understanding. Any tickets pre-purchased for the March 18th event will be honored at the rescheduled event.
