The
International Pancake Day Hall of Fame, located in Liberal, commemorates the
internationally known Pancake Race, which happens every year on Shrove Tuesday
in February.
The
racing competition was initiated in 1950 between Liberal and Olney, England,
and centers on women running down town streets while flipping pancakes,
simultaneously in each city.
In
addition to the pancake race, the town of Liberal also hosts pancake eating
contests, flipping contests, a parade and other festivities.
The Hall of Fame was created in 2005 and is dedicated to preserving the history of Pancake Day through the years. It serves as the headquarters for the acclaimed event on Shrove Tuesday.
This facility operates by appointment only, but International Pancake Day is open to everyone.
