Kiwanis Club

The first of three Cheyenne Frontier Days Pancake Breakfasts is scheduled for Monday from 7-9 am in the Cheyenne Depot Plaza. Pancake breakfasts have been a CFD tradition since the early 1950s. Besides offering a free meal to Cheyenne Frontier Days visitors and Cheyenne residents, the breakfasts serve as a Kiwanis Club of Cheyenne drill in feeding large numbers of people in case of a natural disas

The new grillers were made possible by donations from the Kiwanis, Cheyenne Frontier Days, and the Dowling Family, among others.

The Pancake Breakfasts have been a CFD tradition since the early 1950s.

This year, volunteers will serve up more than 100,000 pancakes along with 630 pounds of butter and 475 gallons of syrup, 3,000 pounds of ham, 9,200 cartons of milk and 520 gallons of coffee.

Besides being a CFD tradition, the breakfasts serve as practice for feeding large numbers of people in case of an emergency.

The exact numbers were not immediately available, but the ''Cheyenne Day" Cheyenne Frontier Days Pancake Breakfast on Wednesday appeared to draw a very large crowd.

Additional breakfasts are planned for Wednesday and Friday mornings of CFD week.

Cool weather and threatening skies may have dampened attendance somewhat on Monday.

The breakfast will be held from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. at the Cheyenne Depot Plaza.

With Cheyenne Frontier Days comes an event that brings out the masses--BREAKFAST. Three times during the Daddy of 'Em All, the Kiwanis Club partners with CFD commiteemen to bring you fresh flapjacks free of charge.
