Westerner Days is, unofficially, underway after Bower Place held their annual Pancake Breakfast.

Over 6,000 Central Albertans came our for free pancakes and sausages in the parking lot of the shopping centre.

The ‘Flipping Amazing’ pancake breakfast is the unofficial beginning of Westerner Days, with the parade officially kicking things off Wednesday, July 18th.

Westerner Days is doubling down on their western theme this year and will run Wednesday through Sunday.
