Participants of the 100-yard pancake race pose with the mayor of White Center, Gordon S. Clinton, who judged the event. In the contest, married women had to flip a pancake three times over in a skillet while racing 100 yards down the middle of 16th Avenue Southwest. The winner was Mrs. Gladys Pingatore, shown here standing the the left of the mayor. The race was part of the Pancake Festival, sponsored by the White Center Eagles in 1956.  Courtesy of MOHAI
