Pancake
Day is an event held each year on the day of Mardi Gras, the Tuesday
before Ash Wednesday.
The
Pancake Day Committee does
one thing and one thing only -- they cook pancakes! And they do it well! This is an event that gets more and
more Zanies out of bed each year. They discover that getting up
before dawn to mix, pour, cook, and clean up is just the beginning of
the festivities and fun on the final day of the Mardi Gras
season. Plus, all the
food not eaten is donated to a local charity!
Following
the pancake breakfast, the Zanies then go for a little rest and
relaxation involving Mimosas and Bloody Marys!
This past
Fat
Tuesday (February 22, 2009), Z Krewe’s Pancake Day Committee, Royalty,
and other Zanies carried on the worldwide Mardi Gras tradition
born in 1445 in Olney, Buckinghamshire, England, by cooking up a
breakfast of pancakes and sausage for the students, parents, and
teachers of Our
Lady of Lourdes Catholic School. Click here
