Everyone has their own way of showing their appreciation to their fathers on father’s day. Why not start out the day by taking your father out to a nice breakfast? Not sure where to go? May I suggest the Mid-Town Marina where Boy Scout Troop 14 will be serving a wonderful breakfast for you and your father to enjoy?
Sunday, June 19th is Fathers Day and Scout Troop 14 will be serving Eggs, Pancakes and Sausage from 8:00am – Noon to anyone who wants a great Fathers Day Breakfast to start off their day. We sat down with Clark Wolff, who works with the East Dubuque Boy Scout Troop 14, who was kind enough to give us some details of the event.
What is the main goal of this event?
The pancake breakfast is actually Troop 14’s main, and biggest, fundraiser for the troop. The kids that work the pancake breakfast actually earn money to go to camp. The proceeds earned from the breakfast are divided up amongst the boys and is used to help them with the cost of going to camp Klaus.
Camp Klaus is a beautiful, permanent, camp site out by Colesburg. There’s a huge lake, about 10 camp sites, tents with wooden floors, big mess hall, shooting ranges, archery ranges, different crafts… it’s a really great time. The kids stay up there for a week and enjoy their experience.
How long has this event been going on?
This is our 20th year, it’s an annual event.
How many troop members help out with the breakfast?
Right around 20.
Is it open to everyone?
It’s open to the public and we have it down at the Marina. If it’s nice outside we will have the breakfast outside but if it’s rainy we put it inside. The Marina has been exceptionally nice for this event.
How many people go to eat the Father’s Day Breakfast?
Usually there’s about 400 people who show up to eat.
