Oak Brook residents gathered for a morning of fun and food at the Annual Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, May 4. Sponsored by First Watch, the event featured all-you-can-eat pancakes hot off the griddle, served with sausage, fruit, juice, and coffee—all prepared on-site by Village Trustees and first responders. Families enjoyed a festive, welcoming atmosphere with exciting activities for kids, including fire and police truck tours, inflatable axe throwing, a Star Wars surprise, and visits from Sparky the Fire Dog and Pawficer Bandit.
