DAMASCUS, PA — To celebrate the last hot month of the summer season, there will be local ice cream topping the pancakes served at the Damascus Manor Community Center (DMCC) breakfast on Saturday, August 10  from 8 a.m. to 12 noon at its facility at 60 Conklin Hill Rd.

A scoop of locally made Wahoo Heavenly Scoop vanilla ice cream will be offered along with the rest of the local fare prepared by the volunteers of DMCC. 

Breakfast will include classic and buckwheat pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon and applesauce. Eggs are from Tom Candela’s coops. Syrup is provided by Jeff and Linda Dexter, members of NEPA Maple Syrup Producers. Of course, there will be coffee and juice.

Wayne County has a long tradition of dairy farming in a state that has the second highest number of dairy-farm families in the country. Wahoo ice cream is made in Damascus Township and is served from its store at 169 Galilee Rd. in Tyler Hill.

People from near and far are welcome for country breakfast, camaraderie and conversation with neighbors and new friends. The cost is $12 per adult and $7 per child aged 12 and under. (Cash only.)

Proceeds from these breakfasts fund worthy causes in the community, including local first responders. 

Recycling will take place from 9 a.m. to 12 noon in the parking lot.   

Families with children should remember the new playground on the township grounds. You can eat inside the center or outside in the picnic and events shed right by the playground. 

The DMCC is available for rent for events and activities. Anyone interested in using  the center or volunteering should find it on Facebook at Damascus Manor Community Center or call 570/729-7270.

The Damascus Manor Community Center serves the ongoing needs of the community and is committed to bringing neighbors together to connect with the best of what life has to offer in Damascus Township.
