CELEBRATE 100 YEARS

Celebrate a 100 years of syrupy at Calgary Stampede Breakfasts

Here's to decades of syrupy goodness, sweet as a sunrise over Bragg Creek, strong as a stallion galloping across the Albertan Prairies. We've seen more than a few sunsets since Jack Morton started flippin' flapjacks on Stephen Avenue, but the tradition he sparked, that's as enduring as the Rockies.

Good old Western Hospitality

This pancake breakfast, it's like a badge of honor for Calgary, standing for that good old western hospitality, a symbol that hasn't tarnished one bit

This pancake breakfast, it's as much a part of Calgary as the cowboy hat on my head, a shining symbol of that timeless western hospitality, enduring as the sun over the open prairie

Let's talk about Jack Morton - a man who was a true wild wind, generous to a fault, even kept a badger as a companion There's a story passed down in these parts about the time his friend lost some cattle in a harsh snowstormJack, the upright cowboy that he was, reached into his own pocket and replenished them. Now get this, these good folks, they'd roll up their sleeves, unload their stoves and set up shop right on the main drag, grilling up pancakes. And Morton, that big-hearted man, started serving those flapjacks to the folks who had gathered to watch, and just like that, the tradition of the pancake breakfast was birthed It's still here, standing tall, a legacy that's alive and kicking to this day!

What is a Pancake?

A pancake, well, that's just a waffle that couldn't stand the heat and lost its nerves. Kinda like the laid-back relative who rolls up to the family shindig in old jeans, not giving a hoot about looking fancy. And the funny part? No matter how it turns out, all lumpy or flat, you still gotta have a soft spot for it. Why, you ask? Well, much like that easy-going kin of yours, it's got a heart of gold, sweet as a peach. But here's the kicker - you could drown it in syrup, and it'd never turn sappy on you That right there is the charm of a good ol' pancake, partner

Ready to Steal Her Heart at Breakfast, Cowboy?

if you want to make a real impression on her, you send her flowers on the morning of that breakfast. Bright and early, before the sun's had a chance to burn off the morning dew. Let her wake up to a bouquet as fresh as the start of a new day, and as full of promise as that first flapjack on the griddle That's how you show her she's more than just another face in the crowd Because, friend, a gesture like that speaks louder than any cowboy ballad ever could

CHUCKWAGONS STORIES FROMTHEPAST

The chuck wagon? Think mobile kitchen, pantry, and storage, all on wheels. Run by the cook, or 'Cookie,' it was a cowhand's lifeline, serving up sustenance as they herded cattle across the open plains.

Rewind to 1923, when the Calgary Stampede decided to spice things up a bit. Guy Weadick, the famous founder of the Stampede, hatched a plan to turn the humble chuckwagon into a racing spectacle. He threw out an open invite to ranchers far and wide, stirring up their competitive spirit with a $275 pot of gold at the finish line. And just like a prairie fire, a new tradition was sparked.

It's raw, it's fast, and it's one hell of a wild ride - a true testament to the grit and spirit of the old West. Just like a storm rolling in, when those wagons start racing, you'd best hold onto your hats, folks.

Floral Trends

Two dominant trends have surfaced in 2023: nostalgic longing and bold individualism. The first trend is reflected in the popularity of Harry Styles' "As It Was" and the rise of the 'Coastal Grandmother' style, both evoking a sense of yearning for the past The second trend promotes innovation and audacity, as seen in daring color and texture choices, and is exemplified by the 'Palm Springs' look that blends maximalist design with minimalist elements.-FloristReview

Honey, y'know, just like a beautiful melody, flowers are nature's way of spreading love. They're like the sweet harmonies of my favorite songs, adding a touch of charm, a splash of color, and a whole heap of love into every relationship.

Whether you're courting, apologizing, or just wantin' to show your friend that you care, a bundle of blossoms can strike the right chord every time.

Just like my ol' mamma used to say, "Darlin', love is like a wildflower, it's often found in the most unlikely places " Even when life gets hard, sending flowers can bring victory

Remember, good girls are made of sugar and spice, cowgirls are made of whiskey on ice. Which ever woman you are, you are able to build bridges between people.

So, dear reader, let's add some music to your life, let's say it with flowers and love!

LOVING SOMEONE

However, don't you forget that even the prettiest flowers can't replace the real, heartfelt words and actions. Flowers are charming, no doubt, but they're just the opening act, the first verse in your love song.

The true chorus comes from the love you show each day, .

from the little things you do to make your sweetheart feel cherished.

So, while our blooms can help you express your feelings, remember to make your actions and words just as colorful and fragrant. At our flower shop, we're here to compliment your symphony of love, not conduct it

"This beautiful young lady here just came back from a series of Fashion week tours, in Paris, Italy, New York and just recently Columbia. Three years ago, we did our first shoot with her, she was just 15 at that time. And look at her now, just strutting in the best runways in the world! And, she never stops growing, she's 6ft tall! So proud of you Jaya! ❤ -

Kudos to this incredible team!"

Orchids would be a fabulous choice Is it a night of pure fun and laughter? Go for the cheerful sunflowers!

Find Your Style: Decide on the style of the bouquet Do you want something formal and structured like flowers in a vase, or would you prefer a casual, free-form hand-tied bouquet? Remember, your choice should reflect the nature of your girls-night-out

Why, hello! Betty Sanders here, and I'm going to help you prepare the perfect pancake breakfast for the Stampede festivities. I already hear the sound of country music ringing out in the early morning, the excitement of chuckwagon races, and the tantalizing aroma of pancakes filling the air

So, let's dive into the key steps for hosting a pancake breakfast that'll have your guests kicking up their h l i d light

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Whether you're a member of Costco or you prefer your local grocery store, it's important to gather your ingredients and supplies well in advance. Basic pancakes require flour, milk, eggs, baking powder, sugar, salt, and oil. If refrigeration might be an issue, an instant pancake mix will do just fine! Want to add a special touch? Toss in some chocolate chips or sliced bananas. Make sure you have all the necessary tools: griddles, spatulas, mixing bowls and spoons, and of course, biodegradable plates, cutlery, and napkins for serving Don't forget to round up some volunteer pancake flippers too!

Step 2: Plan and Promote Typically, pancake breakfasts last 2-3 hours Once you've picked a date, time, and location, start spreading the word If it's a small gathering, a simple group message or Facebook event will suffice But for larger public events, consider adding it to the Calgary Stampede's pancake breakfast list

Step 3: Create a Welcoming Space If you're hosting outdoors, consider renting a pop-up canopy to provide shade for your guests. Arrange long banquet tables in an assembly-line style for easy serving, and don't forget some upbeat music to keep the energy high! Offer a range of beverages and think about seating arrangements for your guests' comfort

Step 4: Efficiency is Key Keeping your serving line flowing smoothly is crucial Make it easy for guests to grab plates, utensils, and napkins, then move down the line to pick up their delicious pancakes Always serve with a smile - it's the secret ingredient, after all!

Step 5: Cleanup When the fun's over, it's time to clean up. Recruit some volunteers to help, aiming to recycle or compost as much as possible. Remember, darlings, 'leave no trace' is the motto. After everything's packed away, give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back You've just hosted a splendid event!

THE SIREN OF SUMMERTIME

In the heart of the city, beneath the Calgary skies, A florist finds a purpose, where the beauty of nature lies Among the buds and blossoms, in colors vibrant and bold, She weaves the tales of emotions, stories waiting to be told

Morning dew on petals, a florist's early delight, Arranging blooms with passion, under the soft sunlight The roses speak of romance, lilies whisper of grace, Every flower a different story, in this enchanting space

Hands gentle yet sturdy, skillful and full of art, A florist’s touch breathes life, each creation a piece of heart. Tulips for an apology, or sunflowers to cheer, A florist knows the language, that every bloom can hear.

Delivering joy and comfort, in bundles tied with love, A florist is a messenger, with tributes from above. Through seasons of sunshine or in winter's frosty rime, A florist’s work keeps blooming, transcending space and time

For the florist in Calgary, each day is a new verse, A life amidst the blossoms, in the universe of the diverse From the break of dawn to the evening's first star, The florist paints in petals, love stories from afar
