When the Calgary Stampede rolls into town you want to make sure you're well fed and properly fueled for the long days of playing cowboy -- that's where the importance of the Stampede breakfast comes into play.
Those flapjacks and sausages are easily turned into energy, and for some play an important role in creating a base for plenty of beer and whisky.
Others seek out the Stampede breakfast as a way to score a free meal or spend some time with neighbours, family and friends.
