The First Christian Church, Maryville, provided Nodaway County Fair carnival workers a hearty late-night breakfast on July 12.

The menu was pancakes, egg casserole, sausage, biscuits and gravy, fresh fruit, pastries, cinnamon rolls, apple and orange juice and cereal.

David Yarnell, carnival owner, told Schenkel that a few towns serve a meal to the workers, but Maryville’s is unique because it is served late at night. This is the second year for the meal.
