WESTFIELD (WWLP) – It’s a 16-year tradition. The Annual Western Massachusetts Legislators Pancake Brunch was held at the Pomeroy Sugar House in Westfield.
Lawmakers from across the Pioneer Valley attended the event, organized by State Senator Don Humason. The goal is to talk, informally, about legislative priorities around agriculture.
The pancake brunch was originally created just for state lawmakers, but this year, the invitation was extended to mayors, city councilors and their spouses.
State Senator Don Humason said he thinks it’s important for lawmakers to gather in a casual setting for a change.
“You find that you’ll get along a lot better formally around the business table after you’ve sat around the breakfast table where you can informally gather, share some coffee, eat some pancakes and have a little bit of a good time,” he said.
The annual pancake brunch was first started by former Westfield State Senator Mike Knapik.
