100 YEARS OF FLAPJACKS

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Calgary Stampede pancake breakfasts, the granddaughter of the legendary founder Wildhorse Jack, is releasing her picture book, FLIP FLOP FLAPJACK. Written by Brenda Joyce Leahy, this picture book (for ages 4-8), chronicles the antics of Wildhorse Jack, a larger-than-life cowboy who loses every event at the Stampede rodeo – but celebrates by hosting a huge pancake breakfast the next morning.

Much to the chagrin of his little daughter, Frankie…

Detailing the very first Stampede Breakfast in 1923, FLIP FLOP FLAPJACK presents the wild and true story behind the iconic western tradition. It’s a tale of community, sportsmanship and living life to the fullest. Set to launch on May 15, this 36-page 8x10 storybook features charming illustrations by Airdrie, AB, artist Melissa Bruglemans-LaBelle, archive photos, and the Morton Family pancake recipe.
