A weird day of sorts: A day where a town of 7,000 gathers in their town square and feasts on free pancakes, watches crappy entertainment/a parade, and, to continue the cliché small-town festival-ness, cheers on the lovely lady contestants vying for the chance to be called "Miss Pancake Day".
-This festival is hosted yearly in Centerville, Iowa
-This ingenious get-together started in 1949; Aunt Jemima would be proud.
