Lubbock Texas

Our local Fargo Moorhead Kiwanis Club has had many years of a successful Pancake breakfast event raising thousands of dollars for charity. Two years ago the Kiwanis Club invited the Guinness World Records people to their event held at the Fargo civic center to verify the possibility of a world record for making and serving the most pancakes at one day event.

The event had many local volunteers and the NDSU Division I Bison football team too as servers and waiters. The day started very strong and ended strong with many pancake eaters on a winter blustery day at that. The Fargo Moorhead Kiwanis club became the world’s record holder.

Latter that year the previous record holder the Lubbock Texas Lions Club set out to win the record back. They also had the Guinness World records team onsite to witness and verify the event.

A side bar to this event held in Fargo –Moorhead I have previously been at another record event where a community won the record for the largest strawberry shortcake and the most people served when I was working in Europe several years ago. The strawberry shortcake tasted very good too as did those Kiwanis pancakes.

Well the Lubbock Texas Lions Club reclaimed the record with a fantastic number of pancakes served.

Now the BEST of the story, like Paul Harvey’s Rest of the story,

Fargo- Moorhead had a record flood this year and through the efforts of volunteers and civic minded people we survived a probable major disaster under the leadership of the mayor of Fargo Mr. Walacher and mayor of Moorhead Mr. Voxland. This flood was considered even more severe than a 100 year flood.

I drove Evac bus moving senior citizens out of harms way. My home was out of danger but many were under duress every day until the Red River of the North receded.

Lubbock Texas Lions club sent a huge donation of Cash to the Fargo Moorhead RED CROSS in help for the flood recovery. What fantastic people we have for friends in Lubbock Texas.
