What--another miracle pancake?!!!

It's almost unbelievable, but Mother Nature has appeared again in a pancake at the Bayfield Regional Conservancy's 4th annual Maple Syrup Pancake Breakfast. Yes, you can read the whole amazing story here.

After past years' pancakes met various misfortunes and fates, the 2008 pancake is safely protected in the freezer of a BRC member awaiting its permanent home.

If you are interested in supporting conservation in the Bayfield region, check it out and put in a bid to win the pancake. 100% of the proceeds benefit the Conservancy.
