What goes best with pancakes? Maple syrup, of course! But a little bit of booze is good, too. Fortunately, Rotary on the Ridge will be able to serve that as well at their upcoming pancake breakfast.
At their workshop on Wed., Sep. 11, Lake Wales city commissioners reviewed an event permit application by Rotary on the Ridge to host their pancake breakfast on Sat. Sep.28, 2024.
The pancake breakfast would be hosted at the Lake Wales Family Recreation Center from 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Rotary on the Ridge had also requested that they be allowed to serve alcohol at the event, which, according to the memo, “will require two off-duty officers.”
The event would not have a fiscal impact on the city, as all costs would be covered by Rotary on the Ridge, the memo stated.
The pancake breakfast will be themed “Salute to Veterans” with local veterans being offered a free admission. Tickets will be $10 for adults and $5 for children under 12. Meals will be served either sit-in or drive-thru.

The application will be reviewed for approval at the Lake Wales City Commission meeting on Tues. Sep. 17 at 6 PM at Lake Wales City Hall.
