Looking for a fun, inexpensive outing for your family?

Want a chance to meet other Minnesotans living in the area and enjoy a hearty meal in a fun, relaxed, outdoor setting?

Well then, come on down to the annual Minnesota State Society Pancake Picnic. Each fall as the leaves start to change and the air becomes crisp and clean (but by no means cold), friends and family members of the Minnesota State Society get together on a November Saturday to cook up some `cakes, coffee, and conversation. The complete meal includes as many fluffy golden brown pancakes as you like, along with sizzling sausages, juice or hot coffee with choice of assorted flavored creamers, or just straight black Java if you prefer.

This outdoor pancake picnic takes place at historic and scenic Fort Hunt Park, just off the G.W. Parkway South of Alexandria, Virginia. We make use of the covered pavilion at right which has a fireplace and shelter from the elements if needed. The adjacent fields offer a chance to strike up a game of volleyball, tag, or catch. Breakfast is served from 9:00 AM until at least 11:00. Bring your friends and family and enjoy this great outdoor MSS breakfast! Advance reservations are needed so we know how much food to prepare.
