Sizzle, flip, flapjack: The University Kiwanis pancake fest is coming up

The University Kiwanis 68th Annual Pancake Festival will bring the usual delightful suspects — pancakes browning on the griddle and sausage sizzling — to Wichita Falls from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Jan. 27 at the J.S. Bridwell Agricultural Center.

Tickets are on sale for the fundraiser hosted by the nonprofit University Kiwanis Club, according to the club's website. The event offers 12 hours of all-you-can-eat pancakes and sausage at the ag center at 111 N. Burnett.

Tickets are $11 in advance and $12 at the door. They are on sale at all United Supermarkets in Wichita Falls, Burkburnett and Iowa Park. Vendor booth rentals are also available.

Thousands of sausae patties are cooked at the University Kiwanis Club's Annual Pancake Festival Saturday, Jan. 25, 2020, at the J.S. Bridwell Agricultural Center.
