Pancake Day - February 21st

Happy Family Day Everyone!

Pancake day is Tuesday Februrary 21st.

Also known as Shrove Tuesday it precedes Ash Wednesday or the first day of Lent.

So why do we eat pancakes?

Lent is a time for fasting and pancakes were a way to use up food that could not be eaten during the 40 days of Lent.  Foods such as eggs, sugar and milk were not to be enjoyed. 

Even if you do not celebrate or practice Lent, it can be a time to enjoy a family meal together and teach your children about the practice of Lent and what sacrifice means.

To celebrate, head over to the Ilderton Community Centre from 5-7pm. 

Adults are $10 in advance or $12 at the door.

Children 5-12 are $5

Kids under 5 are free

This is put on by the Grace Anglican Church and tickets can be purchased at the Excel Pharmacy.

Pancakes, Ham, Salads, and Homemade pie and Desserts will be served.

Happy Parenting,
