And it’s something, like a lot of things, that got interrupted in 2020.
The iconic event, known for taking over downtown Colorado Springs streets with pancakes, hay bales and horses, was canceled last year due to the pandemic for the first time since 1936.
The early-morning celebration of all-things Western returns Wednesday with the motto, “Flapjacks and Fun in ‘21.”
The event’s namesake, a hot breakfast served on the street by members of the Army and Air Force, will be available from 5:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and includes pancakes, eggs and a drink for $5. There will be music from the Flying W Wranglers as well as performances from the country rock band Exit West and the Sweetwater Native American dancers.
