Did you start your day at the Dixon Petunia Festival with pancakes and sausages at the Dixon Athletics Booster Club Pancake Breakfast? Many people did.
For the past several years, the Athletics Boosters have run the breakfast with proceeds going to the sports departments. There were also a good number of High School Athletes who volunteered their time to assist at the breakfast. Dixon High School Principal, Jared Shaner said the kids get their turn at the pancakes and sausages too.
Another benefit for the youth is the fact many are enrolled in the Sauk Valley College Impact Program. Here those enrolled must meet their requirement for volunteer hours. By volunteering at the breakfast, it goes towards their impact hours.
Shaner said they have had a busy few days with a couple of days with the place packed with people wanting some pancakes.
