The Fort Atkinson Band Boosters held its pancake breakfast Saturday, Nov. 6, at Fort Atkinson Middle School.
A special guest at the fundraiser was Mike Leckrone, who directed the popular University of Wisconsin-Madison Marching Band for a half-century before retiring in 2019.
The breakfast menu included pancakes, applesauce, Jones Dairy Far sausage, coffee, orange juice and milk.
The Fort Atkinson middle and high school Jazz Bands performed during the breakfast.
