MONROE, Conn. — Stacks of pancakes with maple syrup and sausage links were served during Harmony Grange No. 92’s annual Pancake Breakfast and Easter Egg Hunt Saturday morning.
Volunteers from Masuk High School’s Community Crew, along with one Trumbull High School student, wore bunny costumes, while greeting families and posing for photos, and teen volunteers also helped with dishing out meals and pouring cups of apple juice. Guests also had hot cups of coffee and tea.
The Monroe Diner donated the food and a raffle was held for two large Perugina Easter Eggs.
“The event was a huge success,” said Michael Murray of the Grange, who created and organized the annual breakfast. “Both parents and kids that attended the event commented on what a great event this was today and one kid told his grandparents, ‘this was the best Easter Egg hunt ever.'”
The Harmony Grange grounds were divided into two areas for the hunt with children ages tw0-to-five on one side and age six-to-10 on the other.
“A big thank you to my good friend Vasil, owner of the Monroe Diner, for donating the pancakes and sausages for 80 people for the second year,” Murray said. “Everyone who came today commented on how delicious breakfast was.”
Murray also thanked all of the high school students who served breakfast to attendees, Mary Issace of Trumbull for lending out her Easter Bunny costume, First Selectman Terry Rooney for attending and lending his support, and all of the Grange members who helped make the event possible.
“Harmony Grange is always looking for people in the towns of Monroe, Shelton and Trumbull to become members, which is $30 a year,” he said of the annual fee. “This year five people joined the Grange. With more people joining, it enables us to offer more of these fun events to the communities the Grange serves.”
