HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The tradition of the American Legion Scholarship Pancake Breakfast is back on Thursday.
"It's six bucks at the door," said Mac McGaughey with the American Legion. "We're just really, really delighted to be able to get back into it and supply the people here a good pancake breakfast and raise funds for our kids here."
Lyle Rishel Post 68 provides five $750 scholarships to Kansas students who attend HutchCC from the event's proceeds.
"The kitchen will be wall to wall people," McGaughey said. "We'll have guys in the back mixing and tending to the pancake batter and there's like four or five guys on the two big grills flipping pancakes and then there's a whole team of people serving out on the floor."
The HutchCC Endowment Association is in charge of the scholarship distribution.
"We're just tickled to death that we can do it the good old fashioned way this year and have the dine in, since we had restrictions two years in a row that stopped us from doing that."
The breakfast is from 6:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at 730 West 4th in Hutchinson.
