Stop by the Sparta VFW Post on Saturday, March 22, for an all-you-can-eat breakfast with proceeds supporting Randolph County 4-H.
Hosted by the Randolph County Foundation, pancake day has been a part of the community for over 50 years. The event is a way to help support our local 4-H youth. 4-H is America’s largest youth development organization—empowering nearly six million young people with the skills to lead for a lifetime.
The event will be held from 7 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the Sparta VFW Post at 1911 N. Market Street. Pancake day donations are $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 4-10. Those three and under eat for free. Breakfast includes pancakes, sausage, and an assortment of beverages. The breakfast is made and served by our local 4-H members. Carry-out plates are also available.
For more information, contact the Randolph County Extension Office at (618) 443-4364.
