EMBARRASS- Over 400 people attended the Embarrass Region Fair Association’s Dec. 2 pancake breakfast event.
“This was a record number,” said volunteer Sue Beaton. “We ran out of almost everything and had trouble brewing coffee fast enough.”
Timber Hall was filled with folks enjoying a nice breakfast. The Grinch stopped by for some holiday fun, but he didn’t get away with any of the gifts or pancakes, and even paid a visit to the bloodmobile parked outdoors.
Over 30 area residents donated blood for the Memorial Blood Center’s blood drive. Attendees also filled a van with used clothing for the DAV used clothing drive (sales benefit area veterans).
There were at least 20 vendors in the hall selling crafts and other gift items.
Attendees, along with members of the Four Corners 4-H Club, also donated a large number of toys for the Operation Santa toy drive, which serves families who use the Tower Area Food Shelf.
The pancake breakfast, a fundraiser for the fair association, is held on the first Saturday of the month, now through May. Each month has a special theme. More information online at www.embarrassrfa.org, and is also published in the community calendar section of the Timberjay.
