On the morning of the Cloverdale Rodeo Parade there are several pancake breakfasts held around town on Saturday May 16, 2009.
Probably the most popular will be the one put on by the Cloverdale Lions in Hawthorne Square on 176th Street, across from the Dale Building and the Clova Cinema, partly between 58th and 57th Avenues. This will be from 8am till 10am, approximately when the parade starts. A local band, the Trailerpark Playboys will be providing musical entertainment and an Elvis impersonator is also scheduled to make an appearance. Now keep in mind this is the May long weekend and it always rains. Or at least it has for 11 of the past 15 years if memory serves me correctly. The Lions pancake breakfast is held outside. Depending on the weather it might be a flop. Cost is unknown but I can't imagine it will be more than $5.
For an indoor pancake breakfast, the Cloverdale Legion is nearby on 57th Avenue, across from the firehall and serve breakfast from 6:30am till about 11:30am. In fact they'll be serving pancakes each day of the long weekend. We often go there for their monthly pancake breakfasts. For $4 ($3 for kids) they serve pancakes, eggs, sausages, coffee, and orange drink. You can go back for seconds if you're still hungry.
The Cloverdale United Church also has a pancake breakfast starting at 8am. They're located on the corner of the Cloverdale Bypass and 58th Avenue, but you'll have to drive around to their entrance on 58A Avenue to park. Free parking for the parade and rodeo if you come in for pancakes. Cost unknown for 2009 but in 2008 it was $2.
The Cloverdale Canadian Reformed Church on 60th Avenue is also holding a pancake breakfast. Cost unknown, but in 2008 it was free! That was the deciding factor where we ate pancakes last year. In addition to pancakes they served sausages and coffee and juice. I don't recall if there was fried eggs here. They also offered free parking for parade and rodeo goers who came in for breakfast. They're located at 17473 60th Avenue.
