What do you do when you’ve bought enough food for a breakfast where at least 1,500 hungry people were expected to attend? Then, a party-stopping pandemic parachutes right into your planning! That was the dilemma faced by Camrose Flying Club decision makers who had ordered and taken delivery of several hundred pounds of pork loins before their annual Fly-in Breakfast was cancelled due to COVID-19. The intention was to have this meat professionally smoke-flavoured and sliced into sizzling, delicious back bacon for the popular community breakfast. The annual event had been slated for May 31 at the Camrose Airport. In view of the cancellation of this year’s breakfast, Club executive elected to gift this food to NeighborAid, operators of Camrose & District Food Bank. The charitable contribution was made in order to assist local residents who have been negatively affected by the coronavirus. For the past 62 years, the Camrose Flying Club’s Fly-in Breakfast has been one of the most anticipated, must-attend summer events for Camrosians. It is also a premier fly-in breakfast in western Canada for pilots and aircraft owners. It typically attracts over 100 light aircraft from far and wide. The club assures the public that the Camrose Fly-in Breakfast will return in June, 2021.
