Pancake Fundraiser
Our most successful Pancake Fundraiser yet! Post 8 partnered with Topeka's own EAA Chapter 1693, Top City Aviators, to provide Young Eagle Flights to more than 40 aspiring aviators. Pancakes filled the morning air with delicious aromas while volunteer EAA pilots introduced Topeka youth to the freedom of flight. Each Young Eagle received their first pilot logbook entry, and perhaps sparked interest that will lead to a career in aviation. Maybe they'll even join Post 8 and find themselves in this album years later!
Open Album2026 Swing Dance
Photos from Post 8's Second Annual Swing Dance. It was an evening of nachos, big band fun, dancing, aviation atmosphere, and enough smiles to keep Topeka bright for weeks.
Pancake Fundraiser
Post 8 welcomed guests by air, road, pedal, and foot for a Saturday morning Pancake Feed. People came hungry and left smiling, while Scouts put a restored rotating griddle to work and sharpened their cooking & people skills.
2025 Swing Dance
This was Post 8's very first Swing Dance Fundraiser, proving a group of aviation enthusiasts can survive months of planning, decorating, hauling tables, wrap extension cords, and learning what "swing dancing" actually means.
The photos in this album were contributed by Post 8 family members WJ and GB (thank you both for helping preserve the memories [and possible evidence]).
I hope these photos convince you to join us for a future dance. I hear plans are underway for our Semisesquicentennial ("Diamond") Swing Dance! 🤯
