Ada Kiwanis cancel pancake-sausage day

Health concerns about the Coronavirus virus have forced club to re-think the 2020 event

Members of the Ada community

The Ada Kiwanis Club began a yearly tradition in the late winter of 1952 by sponsoring a Pancake and Sausage Day at the American Legion Hall in downtown Ada. That tradition has continued for the past 67 years.

The event has been held at various Ada locations: the Legion Hall, the Ada First United Methodist Church, the Ada V.F.W. and in recent years, the Ada High School Cafeteria.

The menu has remained the same: all-you-can eat whole hog sausage and pancakes.

Planning for the 2020 event began months ago and tickets went on sale just a few weeks ago.

However, recent health concerns about the Coronavirus virus have forced our club to re-think our plans for the 2020 event.

As a result, the club’s Board of Directors met yesterday and the decision was made to cancel this year’s fund-raiser. 

This was not an easy decision. But to be cautious seemed the best option. All tickets sold will be re-funded by club members who sold them.

This does not mean that the event will be a thing of the past. Our club plans to resume the event in early 2021. Thank you very much for your understanding and your loyal and continued support.

See you in 2021!

Rhett Grant, President
Ada Kiwanis Club
