One of Z Krewe's long-standing traditions
on Fat Tuesday is our Pancake
Day breakfast, an event held each year on the day of Mardi Gras, the Tuesday
before Ash Wednesday.
On
Fat Tuesday, the
zanie members of Z Krewe
carry on a 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
the Galveston Catholic School. It
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!
And
Z Krewe Royalty is present to serve as greeters, and to pass out beads to
all Pancake Day attendees.
