Father’s Day Pancake Event in Cannon Falls Awesome Again

The Cannon Falls Lions Club conducted their 33rd annual Father's Day Pancake event Sunday with some rain showers lifting rather than dampening spirits.

The pancakes were delicious as always.

I asked a few people and saw many people interested in the Goodhue County Sheriff SWAT vehicle.

Little kids in particular enjoyed jumping around in the back.

I'm sure Jerry Groskreutz woould have enjpyed the classic tractors on display including a number of his favorite from the green and gold company.

Kids of all ages enjoy seeing fire trucks up close I believe.

Here are some more fire trucks from around the area.

This classic is a replica from the truck in the hit 1970's show Emergency.

Cannon Falls Fire Department was well rerpresented.

My favorite was the 1948 Pontiac with the classic hood ornament.

Here is a rear view of this vehicle manucatured the same year KDHL began broadcasting.

Another photo of the classic 1948 Pontiac.

Here is another classic vehicle.

Side view of  another classic vehicle.

A Goodhue County Sheriff's Airboat.

Here is a Minnesota National Guard Vehicle.

Here is a jeep from WWII.  My Dad worked in the motor pool in France during that war before being chosen to guard German prisoners brought to the United States because he spoke German.

Another military vehicle on display.

This is a Red Bull helmet.  The Red Bulls have a storied history dating back to WWI.

Cannon Valley Fair officials hope Go Karts like these will be racing on the Goodhue County Fairgrounds by August.
