CNY Maple Festival

When the newly crowned Maple Festival Queen drips the sap bucket with a ‘bang’, the bang begins the Annual Pancake Eating Contest.

Be at the Marathon High School Auditorium to catch the action of pancake eaters forking down pancakes smothered in fresh golden syrup.  Saturday morning at 9:00am.

Eaters will be downing pancakes for their not-for-profit organizations.  Each organization has been soliciting pledges per pancake since learning they have a place at the Maple Festival Pancake Eating Table.  The Festival even makes a pledge of $2 a pancake to each of the organizations represented at the table.

What is the record for pancakes eaten during the 15 minute contest?  The number is 35 held by competitive eater Joe LaRue residing in Northern Kentucky.
