| Celebrity Pancake Flippers |
Pancake Jamboree: The Exchange Club of Wythe's Annual Pancake Jamboree is held the
last Saturday of October at the Hampton High School cafeteria. The meal is "all you can eat" and includes pancakes, sausage,
and drinks. Tickets are sold in advance and at the door. This event also includes raffles, balloons for the kids, face-painting,
and Identakid (provided by the Hampton Sheriff's Department). Additionally, we were proud to have our "2nd Annual Pancake
Eating Contest" this year. A student from each of the representative schools was given three minutes to consume
as many pancakes as possible. Darius Seals, of Phoebus High School, was our winner, consuming 21 pancakes, and had
his name inscribed on the Exchange Club of Wythe's perpetual trophy.
