Pancake Day
Every spring, Winchester gathers at Jim Barnett Park for a literal ton of sausage, thousands of pancakes, and a morning that funds local grants, scholarships, and youth programs.
Spring 2026 was held April 25 at Jim Barnett Park War Memorial Building. Next date TBD — follow us on Facebook for announcements.
What to Expect
Pancake Day is more than a fundraiser — it's Winchester's community tradition. Each year, Kiwanis members fire up multiple cooking stations inside the Jim Barnett Park War Memorial Building, serving hot pancakes and sausage to thousands of guests who come for dine-in or take-out service.
Roving coffee servers keep the drinks flowing. Guests enjoy orange juice, milk, and coffee alongside fluffy pancakes and savory sausage in a warm, festive atmosphere that brings the whole community together.
Don't forget — we accept non-perishable food donations at the door, with collected goods going directly to community distribution. Every visit makes a difference in multiple ways.

Join Us in the Kitchen
Pancake Day is an all-hands event. Kiwanis members, Key Club students, Builder's Club members, and community volunteers all work together to make it happen — cooking, serving, pouring coffee, and welcoming guests.
