The brunch will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 17 at the Shirley Town Hall. You can make a day of it by attending church just up the street at 9 a.m., have a delightful pancake brunch, then visit Baker's Sugar Shack to see maple syrup being made!

The brunch menu will include pancakes, beans, breakfast casserole, hash browns, muffins, biscuits, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Admission will be by donation, and everyone is encouraged to bring their appetitites.

Shirley has some of the finest cooks in the Moosehead region, and all of the food is homecooked and served piping hot. And perhaps the best part of all is the maple syrup prepared special for the event by Charlie Baker. Many people know the real secret to this once-a-year event is to pour the delicious just-made syrup over the pancakes, casserole and hash browns for a special treat!

After eating, everyone is invited to visit Baker's Sugar Shack to see syrup being prepared (weather permitting), and syrup will also be on sale at the brunch as well. This is an annual fund-raiser for the Shirley Community Church, and residents and visitors alike are encouraged to attend. To reach the Shirley Town Hall from Greenville and points north, turn right on the Upper Shirley Corner Road, and from points south, turn left on the Lower Shirley Corner Road and follow it to the town hall.
