With Pancake Day looming charity organisers in Devon have organised a fancy dress pancake race. The Sid Valley Rotary Club have organised the fancy dress race to take part on Shrove Tuesday. The race will involve fancy dress revellers running through a Sidmouth street tossing pancakes as they go. The fancy dress charity goers will be from local businesses with the winners receiving an engraved frying pan and the money raised going to Polio Plus.

I’ve been scratching my fancy dress heady, thinking of suitable fancy dress ideas for such an event….Now you would want a fancy dress costume that is lightweight and not too bulky so you are free to run like the wind. A couple of fancy dress ideas could be the lightweight Banana fancy dress outfits or a Decades fancy dress costume to add some colour to the affair. If you wanted to bare all to streamline yourself to the max then how about some Hawaiian fancy dress. You can’t go wrong with a fancy dress lei and hula skirt…let’s just hope the weathers nice!
