Mom Kittie MacGregor of RR 1, Londesboro helps 19-month-oid Elizabeth with her breakfast, while 5
year old Katrina eqjoys every last mouthful of hers. The trio were among the 300 people who flocked to the
Londesboro Lions Club’s Old Tyme Country Breakfast on Sunday.
Lions feed 300
at breakfast
More than 300 people lined up
the full length of the Londesboro
Hall over a four-hour period
Sunday morning, their mouths
watering in anticipation of the
annual Fall Old Tyme Country
Breakfast sponsored by the Lond
esboro Lions Club.
“The event was really a success,
up about 20 per cent over the crowd
last year,’’ said Tail Twister Rob
Shaddick, who spent several hours
cooking up more than 1,000
pancakes. He attributes the in
creased crowd to better advertis
ing and promotion, but it is also
likely due in no small way to the
reputation the Lions have gained
far and wide for the scrumptious
feed they have put on at least twice
a year for many years now. It was
one of at least two such breakfasts
the club sponsors each year.
Mr. Shaddick said that the $400
raised by the event would go
toward community projects, in
cluding “one really big one”,
about which he refused to divulge
anydetails. “You’lljusthaveto
wait and see,” he said.
