The Sykesville Lions Club will hold its 56th annual Pancake Fry from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and  Saturday and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday at the Sykesville Town Hall. Lions Vice-President Don Zimmerman said the proceeds will go to several projects, including used eye glasses, Boy Scouts, 4-H and other non-profits. The pancake fry features all you can eat pancakes, sausage and a drink, coffee, tea or punch.
