Pancake Breakfast at AirVenture
2018-07-25 06:00 - 11:30 | Wittman Regional Airport, Oshkosh, WI, 54902, United States
EAA National Chapter Support is planning to hold an EAA sponsored Pancake Breakfast for campers every morning. Our Chapter has signed up to Wednesday morning!
EAA will provide two griddles for cooking, Nesco warmers, coffee pots and propane at no cost to the Chapters. All of the supplies, paper/plastic goods, premixed Pancake mix, sausage, OJ and coffee will be arranged for by EAA and paid for from the proceeds.
The Chapters will provide the labor and receive the profits following the feed. They expect to feed 400 or more campers each morning, which will net the working Chapter between $1 and $2K. It’s never been done before and we’re just guessing about the numbers, so it may be less or a lot more. After the feed is all settled up, either cash or check would be given to the working Chapter.
To be successful, we would need at least 10 -12 volunteers (more would be better) to work from 0600 to 1100 and then clean up time.
CONTACT DAVE SMITH to join in the fun!
