International Pancake Day Hall Of Fame
Tour Information

It's been 3 years of hard work and dedication, but Phase I and Phase II are now completed at the International Pancake Day Hall of Fame.

A group prepares to tour the newly refurbished International Pancake Day Hall of Fame.

Mindi Ormiston, Treasurer and Janice Northerns put their heads together during the first Board Meeting in the newly completed Board Meeting Room.

Phase II has included the complete reconstruction of the second story to include: an interactive viewing room for the showing of short films about Pancake Day; a new Board Room which will accommodate approximately 20-25 people; an office for the operation of the facility and an additional restroom.

This is the first time in 58 years that the Pancake Day Board has had their own Board Meeting Room. The Board has had many generous supporters over the years that have graciously allowed us to use their facilities.

We are still in awe that we have been able to have completed as much of this project as we have in a 3 year period of time. Thus far, we have: purchased the property; poured a new basement and foundation; moved the house back 36 feet onto the new foundation; completely gutted the first and second story of the structure, restoring both floors; added a storage area to the original house; poured concrete parking on the South; added a 15 foot covered front porch and completely landscaped the property.

None of this would have been possible if it were not for the generosity of many groups and individuals. We would like to especially thank the Cooper-Clark Foundation for their continued support of our project. They were the first group to "catch the vision" and have continued to see the project through.

Next year at this time, I hope to be writing an update about Phase III. This will include adding a glassed-in 15 foot, two story addition to the front of the building where the front porch currently is. The additional space will provide and additional stairway to the second story indoor viewing area, an elevator and more floor space for exhibits. We hope that you will take the opportunity to tour the Hall of Fame. You may schedule tours by contacting:
