Hannibal Kiwanis’ Pancake Day, Easter Egg Hunt Saturday

A couple of Easter weekend traditions continue in Hannibal Saturday, March 26.

The Hannibal Evening Kiwanis' annual Pancake Day runs from 7 a.m. till noon Saturday in the Hannibal High School Cafeteria, with, of course, all you can eat pancakes and sausage. Tickets are $6 for adults, with children under six eating free. All the proceeds go to community service.

Then, the Early Bird Kiwanis hosts its 29th annual Easter Egg Hunt in and around the Mabee Sports Complex on the campus of Hannibal-LaGrange University.

Things get underway at 9 a.m. with prize giveaways, then the hunt itself begins at 10 a.m.

Over 10,000 plastic eggs will be strewn about the grounds at HLGU, with youngsters from toddler to age nine are broken into three age groups to enjoy the hunt. The Kiwanis asks that all children in the hunt be able to walk or run on their own. All the kids in the hunt will get a goody bag, and the Easter Bunny will be on hand for pictures.

This is not a fund raiser, but rather a community service project sponsored by the Spiritual Aims and Youth Service Committees of the club.
