Blueberries ... and 600 Pounds of Pancake Batter
Bel Air's annual July 4th blueberry pancake and sausage breakfast runs until 11 a.m.
Harold Boccia has been running the Fourth of July breakfast for 16 years, but he still isn’t sure how many pancakes he needs.
“It’s a crapshoot,” said Boccia, a Bel Air resident. “You have to guess how many people are going to show up.”
