It is about the time of year that the members of the Scaly Mountain Women’s Club, who go South for the winter, get “Spring Fever” and are longing to get to the mountains and get an urge for the taste of sausage and pancakes – “mountain style.” The “world famous” Pancake Breakfasts at Scaly Mountain’s historic old school house will start in May and be every 4th Saturday – May through October. The planning and the work begin in Spring. Susan Bankston is again in charge of this event that brings the community together. Put these 4th Saturday dates on your calendars, so you will not miss any of the Pancake Breakfasts. It will again be held at the Ole’ Scaly School House at 41 Buck Knob Road.
Pancake Breakfasts dates are May 26th, June 23rd, July 28th, August 25th, September 22nd and October 27th. Breakfast is served from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

Singer and force of nature Libby Whittemore launches the season in her inimitable way May 24th-27th. Libby’s performed at the Playhouse before and her style – a beguiling blend of Rosemary Clooney and Ethel Merman, leavened with a healthy dose of Southern Sass and hints of Patsy Cline – proved as irresistible as catnip to Highlands audiences. This return to the mountains promises to deliver the same dynamic style and wit that’s become
her hallmark.
