🥞☕ SAVE THE DATE! ☕🥞

We are excited to announce that Perry Elks Lodge #407 and Floyd Foster VFW Post #2060 are in the early planning stages of a community breakfast event — and we wanted to get the date out NOW so everyone can mark their calendars! 🇺🇸

📅 Saturday, June 20, 2026
⏰ 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM
📍 Perry Elks Lodge #407
1200 Willis Ave. • Perry, Iowa

Current plans include:
🥚 Scrambled Eggs
🥞 Pancakes
🥓 Bacon & Sausage
🍳 Biscuits & Gravy
🥔 Hash Browns
☕ Coffee & Orange Juice
🍥 Cinnamon Rolls
🍺 Bar Open with drink specials planned

This will be a FREE WILL DONATION breakfast — meaning the “price” is whatever you feel the breakfast and supporting your local organizations is worth to you.

We are still building and finalizing plans, menu details, volunteers, and special pricing for the bar, but everything is looking very solid and we wanted to give people plenty of notice to SAVE THE DATE.

And honestly… why grab breakfast at McDonald’s or Burger King before your Saturday shopping and errands when you can stop by, enjoy a homemade breakfast, visit with friends, support local organizations, and help our veterans and community all at the same time? ❤️🇺🇸

More information, updates, and final details will be coming soon — but for now, mark the calendar and plan on joining us for a great morning at the lodge!
