Rodeo week in Redding, CA! Each year, there is a crew of "Asphalt Cowboys" that put on a whole show. They stage a bank robbery, then hide a "loot" that the town searches for all week worth $500, and then do a pancake breakfast on Friday. Today is Friday, and therefore was the pancake breakfast! The Asphalt Cowboys literally close down Market Street (reminds me of 4th of Julys in MS), and serve pancakes to thousands of people. Last year was a record breaking year of 11,000 people. Halfway through this morning they were estimating that we were going to set a new record!
The above picture is of one of the asphalt cowboys, literally, stirring the pancake batter with a paddle because it has to be so long. All the mixed batter is in the 5 gallon paint buckets. LOL! Ahh.... the perks of living in a small, redneck town.
Janice will be here tomorrow for the rodeo. 5th row baby! So excited!
