Pancake Supper and Races (St. Andrew's, Saratoga)
On Tuesday (5 February), we held a Shrove Tuesday pancake supper and race at our parish, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Saratoga, CA. The Pancake Race is one of our family's favorite church festivals and we helped manage the event in partnership with St. Andrew's amazing Youth Group. My daughter Jessica was sad she could not join us this year (she is at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania). She wrote out her "How to run a Shrove Tuesday Pancake supper and race" instructions in case anyone wants to hold their own pre-Lent celebration. (She said last night that this has been her most popular blog post so far!) John and I sent Jessica our notes on this week's event and she wrote an update blog entry today. For those who don't know Shrove Tuesday from Mardi Gras, read The Unofficial Olney Page for one version of how the famous tradition got started in 1445 in Olney, England.
Here are some photos from St. Andrew’s grand event. As you can see, we had races between little kids, older kids, teens, and mixed groups. All the racers won a strand of sugar beads (which also were the table decorations).
