Cheyenne Day Cheyenne Frontier Days Breakfast Draws Big Crowds

Thousands of Cheyenne residents as well as Cheyenne Frontier Days visitors enjoyed a free pancake breakfast On Wednesday morning at the Cheyenne Depot Plaza.

The Number Of Breakfasts Served Takes Big Jump From Monday

Kiwanis Club of Cheyenne Pancake Chairman Justin Gorman told Townsquare Media of Cheyenne Wednesday that 7,618 breakfasts were served. That's about 50 percent more than the Monday total of 5,105. That increase is not surprising because Wednesday is Cheyenne Day at CFD and almost always draws the largest pancake breakfast crowds.

Besides offering a free meal to Cheyenne Frontier Days visitors and Cheyenne residents, the breakfasts serve as a Kiwanis Club of Cheyenne drill in feeding large numbers of people in case of a natural disaster or other large-scale emergencies.

The single-day record was registered during the Wednesday 1996 feeding frenzy, where 16,897 people were served.  The weekly record was broken that same year when 39,111 people were fed in a combined serving time of eight hours and ten minutes.

The third and final CFD 2024 pancake breakfast is scheduled for Friday morning from 7-9 at the Cheyenne Depot Plaza.
