Each year the SERvice TO MAnkind club organizes a fly-in/drive-in pancake breakfast at the Iowa City Airport.  Each year since we opened, in 2002, we have participated with a booth, doing a drawing for a free hot tub suite stay, and giving away helium balloons to the kids.

This was the first year I felt comfortable telling Mary that the kids and I could handle the crowd.  We weren't counting on perfect late-summer weather bringing out record crowds! 

We gave away ~1,000 balloons, had almost 400 entrants in our give-away -- and none of us ever got to eat pancakes!   The lines of expectant kids often stretched four or five deep, so we were kept HOPPING!

It was a great time.  Here's a video, and some pix:
