BLOUNTSTOWN-This time last year we told you about the pancake breakfast for the Blountstown Fire Dept.'s fire truck restoration project. Fire fighters say they are almost done, but still nee a few more donations before completion.

It was held at Connie's Kitchen in Blountstown. Each plate of pancakes and sausage or bacon went for just $5.00. Of course all of the proceeds will go towards restoring the Blountstown Fire Department's 1945 fire engine.

If you would like to contribute a couple bucks to the restoration project you can give them a call at, (850) 643-7893.
