Description

The Manchester Essex Rotary is excited to announce that the Annual Red, White and Blue Pancake Breakfast will take place on Saturday, July 2, from 7:30 until 12:00, at beautiful Tucks Point! We extended the fun for an additional hour this year to make it easier for everyone to participate and stay a bit longer to enjoy all the special events we have planned!  We will have face painting, pony rides for the kiddos, live music performed by The Old Salts Jazz Band led by Bob Tuffley, and a sneak peak at the Summer Stage performance of the musical ‘Grease.’  Our National Anthem will be sung by Manchester’s own Sydney Bartlett. We are thrilled to once again have our State Senator Bruce Tarr and former State Representative Brad Hill on hand flipping the pancakes, a yearly tradition!  
If all that doesn’t thrill you, this year we are adding another service to make this fabulous…we will be offering a complimentary water taxi departing from both Reed Park and behind Town Hall! Parking is available at Town Hall and Masconomo Park, so save yourself the parking at Tucks and hop on a vessel provided by Manchester Mooring. A short cruise through the harbor on a beautiful day is a true treat!
If you’ve attended in prior years, you understand the excitement around this time honored community spirit building event; if you are new to the are area, join us and see why this event is not to be missed.  
Advance tickets are $10, and tickets at the door are $15. Kids under 8 enjoy the breakfast for free.  Rotarians will be selling tickets on Saturday morning in front of the post office, and they are also available through the Parks and Rec Department, at Crosbys market and various store locations throughout town.  Or, purchase tickets online at https://www.manchesteressexrotary.org, and follow the link. VOLUNTEERS are welcome and needed to make this event a success! Please contact Judy Laspesa, jlaspesa@comcast.net
