BURTON VILLAGE
Special Events
Pancake Town, USAIn Burton, the festivities begin in mid-February and continue on every Sunday in March. Trees are tapped, sap gathered and boiled, pancakes and sausage cooked, and coffee brewed for thousands of people who have been attending the breakfasts for as long as 46 years.
Since over 1951 over one million pancakes have been served to more than 240,000 hungry people. More than 18,500 gallons of pure maple syrup have been poured over those pancakes. More than 73,000 pounds of sausage has been cooked, and 560,000 cups of coffee poured for visitors to Burton.
Workers in the Burton Log Cabin will be making maple syrup and maple candy, a tradition in the area which dates back for centuries. An Antique and Craft Show will be in full swing at the High School, the Burton Library will host book sales, and the Century Village Museum and Grounds will be open. Local antique stores and shops stocked with new ideas for spring are ready for visitors.
"Lolly the Trolley" is here to bring people who park at the nearby Kent State University Geauga Campus to Burton.
Later in the year, the Burton Village area offers a tempting schedule of summer and wintertime happenings. Read on...
