A record crowd of more than 350 people braved the rain last Saturday to attend the Clermont County Park District’s fifth annual Pancakes in the Park.

Chris Clingman, Clermont County Park District director, said that this event always draws a large number of people interested both in learning about how maple syrup is made and enjoying a hearty breakfast.

“This is one of our more successful and popular events,” Clingman said. “We get a new group of people every year who have heard about it and come out.”
