Dancers, clowns and a marching band kept throngs of Calgarians entertained as a long lineup snaked around the CBC building Thursday for the annual Stampede breakfast.
With the Calgary Stampede set to officially open Friday, it's high season for authentic cowboy breakfasts all over the city.
CBC teamed up with ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen to host the event at the broadcast centre off Memorial Drive, attracting thousands of people for free pancakes and sausages.
Jim Brown and his team broadcast the Calgary Eyeopener live on CBC Radio from the parking lot.

- Saturday: Calgary Co-op Stampede breakfast at Dalhousie Centre in the northwest.
