For many years, springtime in Harrison County meant attending the annual Pancake Festival on the square in downtown Corydon. The local Jaycees sponsored the event, which featured rides, cakewalks, and, of course, pancakes! Here are some images to help you remember the fun, or if you missed it, make you wish you could have gone!
One of the most popular events at the festival was a large pancake breakfast, which was always well-attended despite its early start. Above, Marvin Alstott (left) and Charles Miller (right) prepare cakes for the crowd in 1959. See the Corydon Photograph Collection.
A large Ferris wheel operated on Elm Street near the Masonic Lodge and Corydon Post Office in 1962.
Festival goers and rides on West Beaver and Elm Streets, 1968.
