Description
Aunt Jemima and Lions Club Members Cooking Pancakes, 1960. From Lions Club Scrapbook. Digital Image of Aunt Jemima in back cooking pancakes with male members of Lions Club. The front line of tables is the serving line, where Lions Club members wearing paper hats that say "Aunt Jemima Breakfast Club" are serving. The crowd in line is visible in the background. The Lions Club has always been noted for their pancake breakfast fund raisers.
The St. Joseph Lions Club hosted a two-day pancake festival at Hotel Robidoux in March, 1960. It is thought this is a photo from that festival. (A similar event occurred in March, 1938 when Aunt Jemima greeted passengers at Union Station).
Some pictured are identified along the bottom of the photo:
