It took Lions Tom Settle, Greg Supancheck, Ryan Smart, Rick Wright, Scott Puhn, Larry Lynn and Sherri Burch to grab the grills and tables and various supplies. #Vikingfest #poulsbolions #Lionspancakebreakfast #WeServe #pancakesforscholarships

 

Pancake breakfast signs go up all over town

Signs have gone up all over town reminding people that this weekend is our 49th Viking Fest Pancake Breakfast for Scholarships. Thanks again to Red Apple, Liberty Bay Auto and North Kitsap High School for putting it up on their readerboards! Also, this weekend we have Lions and friends at the strawberry shortcake booth at the waterfront till 10 pm tonight, from 10-10 Saturday and from 10-6 pm Sunday. 

Lions Joe Stenstrom (above) and Lee Metcalf set up pancake breakfast signs around town this afternoon.

Look for more familiar faces at this weekend's pancake breakfast

Our most recent pancake breakfast was in May 2019. We had Lions Michele Grenier, Jay Dahlquist and Linda Schwind greeting people, taking their money, giving them tickets and stamping hands. Look for these three again this weekend! Oh, and if you haven't heard yet, there's a shuttle from the high school to downtown's festivities for a suggested minimum donation of $3.

Many thanks to Reliable Storage

Here is Lion John Macdonald and Scott Puhn getting a grill in place while setting up for the pancake breakfast during Viking Fest in May 2018. We are fortunate to have the support of Reliable Storage to hold all of our tables, grills, etc. for the pancake breakfast, as well as items such as a fridge, 10-foot booth and more for our strawberry shortcake booth. Thank you so much!
