We had over 220 people catch their breakfast from Trevor "Nutcake" Muir of Chris Cakes, and enjoy some yummy pancakes. Trevor said we exceeded his expectations for a first-time event (which often only get about 100 people). His miscalculation meant we had to make a mid-morning run out for more sausage (thanks John Truong!), but I think having too many people is a problem we don't mind having! After serving out more than 900 pancakes, Trevor ended the day by flipping John a pancake over the barn rafters -- at least 30 feet! It took two tries, but John caught and ate that high flying pancake. A BIG Thanks to everyone who helped out with the event: Blake Crady Jim Saunders Barb Babut Nancy Earle Kristen Truong John Truong Tina Lloyd (Farmers Market coordinator) Trevor Muir -- Chris Cakes pancake flipper!

We are planning the event for Saturday, December 4. While budgets are tight, the results of our recent Social Committee survey show that enthusiasm is high. Christmas in the Village showcases our neighborhood, and gets everyone excited to be part of a beautiful, warm-spirited occasion. We are considering 2010 a "rebuilding" year, and starting small -- centering our efforts around the most successful part of past Christmas in the Village events: the home tours. We might also add in our more recent holiday events onto the same day, such as the children's party and tree decorating. The Canton township recreation department is teaming up with us on logistics, but we need as much help as possible from our community to make this event a big success. We are asking as many as possible of our neighbors to participate. You can participate at whatever level you are comfortable.
