Lent starts this week, which means traditional “mardi gras” (“fat Tuesday”) “carnival” (away with meat) or Pancake Day celebrations around the world.

These festivals were originally designed to use up rich foods before the Lenten fast.

In Kingaroy, the Anglican Ladies Guild will be holding its annual Pancake Day celebration from 9:30am on Tuesday at the church hall in Alford Street. Admission is $2 and there’ll be a morning tea, a lucky door prize and a raffle, along with a special prize for the best scarf.
