Claflin UMC doubles down on pancakes
Claflin United Methodist Church has extended its 63rd Annual Pancake & Sausage supper to a two-day event.
It was originally scheduled for 4:30-7 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 31. Member Pam Atteberry said that due to the weather, some school activities were moved to this Saturday, which might adversely affect the supper crowd. So, they have extended the meal to include Sunday, Feb. 1, from noon to 1:30, to allow everyone the opportunity to come if they want to.
Freewill offerings will be accepted and cary-out will be available.
If you have an event that is open to the public, let us know at least one week in advance. **Paid promotions** are also available. Contact Susan Thacker at the Great Bend Tribune, 2012 Forest Ave., Great Bend, KS 67530; call 620-792-1211 or email sthacker@gbtribune.com.
