By 1949\, The Berthoud Bulletin announced that 3\,700 visitors from 21 states downed a whopping 7\,400 flapjacks. Over its eleven-year span\, Flapjack Day grew to include the crowning of a Flapjack Queen. spike-driving\, swimming and diving contests\, a baton twirling competition\, pet-and-doll parades\, a pig catching scramble\, a tractor driving challenge. The last Flapjack Day was held in 1959 when the Chamber of Commerce decided to cancel; the event due to the high cost of hosting such a spectacle.\n\n\nCity Star Brewing brought this annual tradition back to life in 2015: giving away 1\,000 flap jacks\, raising $1\,000 for the Berthoud Historical Society\, and crowning the first Flap Jack Queen in 50 years – Caitlin Ascher.

SUMMARY:2026 Speaker Series - The Radical Samuel Adams - a presentation by local historian Paul Flanders
DESCRIPTION:Join us on February 17th at 7:00 pm at the McCarty-Fickel Home Museum (645 7th Street\, Berthoud) to hear a presentation by local historian Paul Flanders on The Radical Samuel Adams. As we are celebrating 250 years since the Declaration of Independence was signed\, what better presentation could there be than on one of our Founding Fathers? \nPaul Flanders will walk you through the ideas\, the life\, and the times of Samuel Adams. Some historians contend that Samuel Adams is “the most essential” of the Founding Fathers. He was perhaps the first leader of that era to conceive and fully embrace the idea that the colonies needed to revolt from England. Come learn about a man who helped to change the country we live in today.
