Flying pancakes at Maple Crest Feb. 11 - Memory Garden project fundraiser
It's not your ordinary pancake breakfast. From 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 11, at Maple Crest Senior Living, Bluffton, pancakes will "fly" right into your plate.
The breakfast, in the Patio Room of Maple Crest Senior Living, 700 Maple Crest Ct., Bluffton, is a fundraiser for the Maple Crest Memory Garden Project, according to Laura Voth, CEO of Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio.
The pancake event, open to the public, is an interactive experience that is fun for all ages. Pancakes provided by Chris Cakes of Columbus, works this way: you have the option of catching your pancakes as they are tossed through the air to your plate.
If that sounds too scary, you may simply have your pancakes placed on your plate. The breakfast features all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, coffee and orange juice.
"The event is a fundraising kick off for the Memory Garden project at Maple Crest," said Voth. "The Memory Garden will be located by the main pond at Maple Crest. It will include a dock, screen house, walkway and reflection area, all surrounded by a beautifully planned garden of trees, shrubs and perennials."
All proceeds from the breakfast will go toward the project. Donations are also accepted. Tickets are $7 for adults, $6 for seniors 65 and older and $5 for children 5 and under.
