For 41 years, no trip to the Pennsylvania Maple Festival is complete without eating at the Meyersdale Lions Pancake House. Mouth watering pancakes topped with melted butter, tender sausage roasted to perfection, now add Pennsylvania's best maple syrup and you have an all-you-can-eat meal that will satisfy the entire family. The special way the Lions select foods and ingredients and the way they prepare their foods help make eating at the pancake house memorable. Throughout the years, $1 million has been raised from the pancakes and sausage project. All the proceeds of this fund raising venture has been returned to the community to purchase supplies from local business and to support many community organizations. Currently the Lions are focused on two main projects. The improvement of the Meyersdale Community Center and the continuing management of scenic Maple Valley Park. If you get a chance while your eating, look around the gymnasium where the meal is served. The Lions have recently put hundreds of hours of volunteer time and thousands of dollars into improving this facility. This is just one of many examples of how involved the Lions are in the local community.
