What are you doing on Sunday, March 18th? You're celebrating Buzzard Sunday with a pancake breakfast hosted by us and Sarah Lohman of Four Pounds Flour. 

There'll be games and a craft fair, a raffle, and fancy-pants pancakes. It all goes down from 11-4 at the Brainery (515 Court Street), and we want you there. Advance tickets are totally required. 

Admission includes breakfast (all you can eat regular and pumpkin cornmeal pancakes), games, a raffle ticket, and the chance to hang out with some other really nice people.

Why? Buzzards, obviously.

Hinckley, Ohio is a small town with a bizarre holiday: Buzzard Day.

The legend of this festival stretches back nearly 200 years, to the great Hinckley Hunt of 1818. Because of a sudden freeze during the hunt, the townsfolk were forced to leave behind piles of rotting animal carcasses all winter. But when those rotting corpses thawed in the spring, magic happened: flocks of turkey vultures descended upon the small town to devour the fetid flesh.

To this day, buzzards still return to Hinckley on March 15th. The following Sunday is affectionately known as "Buzzard Sunday" and draws a crowd of thousands to the local elementary school for all you can eat pancakes, games, and crafts. This year, we’re bringing the tradition to Brooklyn.

Raffle prizes generously donated by Black Gold Records and Butter Me Up Brooklyn. You'll have the chance to purchase the awesome handmade jewelry of We Are Here, and way more!
