The Calgary Stampede celebrated Family Day on Sunday, an annual tradition where admission is free for everybody up until 11 a.m. and a pancake breakfast is served up starting at 8 a.m.
Thousands flocked to the park to take in the event and witness a free show afterwards.
“They did martial arts and skip rope,” said Sophia Angall, who attended the grounds with her family.
Although many were intrigued by the sights and sounds of the grounds, it was a free pancake breakfast that attracted tens of thousands of people out.

The Stampede hoped to achieve a Guiness Book of World Records by serving the most pancakes in an eight hour span.
“I am looking to make sure that nobody is trigger happy on the counter,” said Lauren Millett, who was one of the independent witnesses to the count.
