Two big community events are coming Saturday.
On the calendar first is the Boy Scout Troop 157 pancake feed at Emporia’s First Christian Church. Cost is $6 a person for all-you-can-eat pancakes. The event is from 6 am to 12:30 pm and follows the Sojadi District’s annual recognition dinner, which took place Thursday at First Christian Church.
Later, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation has its annual banquet and auction at the Fairgrounds Anderson Building. Chapter President Lance Fullerton says all proceeds help conservation efforts in several ways.
Activities begin at 5 pm with hunting trips, firearms, apparel, equipment, tools and other items on the live auction block. Raffle items and a silent auction, including a trip to Cabo San Lucas, are also available. Tickets are $35 for club members, $15 for youths and $70 for general admission including a club membership. Tickets are available at the door.
