180 dozen eggs, 113 pounds pancake batter....

Nate Golla, the third generation of Luverne Farm Store Gollas, flips eggs on the griddle during Pancake and Egg Day in the Farm Store's heated shop Saturday. Nate is the son of Gary and Barb Golla and the grandson of George and Vangie Golla. He said more than 1,100 people braved freezing temperatures to stand in line for the store's annual customer appreciation day meal. To feed that many people required 113 pounds of pancake batter, 180 dozen eggs, 2,000 slices of ham, 600 cups of coffee, 22 gallons of orange drink and 20 gallons of milk. "We thank everyone for coming down and joining us for customer appreciation day," Nate said. "All the Farm Store guys enjoyed it."

At right, 21-month-old Jenae Hamann could use a booster seat, but she manages to get almost all the pancakes and eggs to her mouth after her mom, Lisa Hamann, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
