Following the Alliant Energy 8K and Kids Fun Run, the family headed down to Ely for their annual Fire Department Pancake Breakfast. To prove why it is great to live in Iowa and the Midwest, a gentleman leaving the breakfast approached us with two tickets to the event for free. Very generous of this stranger and member of the Ely community.
For $5 per adult and $2.50 for children, it was an all-you-can-eat meal including pancakes, eggs, bacon and sausages. Unlike some other fire department breakfasts in the area the members of the fire department were very generous with the helpings.
On this rainy day, it was hard to find a parking spot in the bustling community. Lines stretched far down the street in anticipation of the hearty breakfast.
On a dry day, Colin would be all over the fire engines.
Ely was very organized. Two lines with food cooking constantly on the grills.
Pancakes, Pancakes and more Pancakes.
It was tough to find a place to sit within the fire station.
