Ah, the 4th of July. I for one am thrilled that our founding fathers chose summertime to adopt the Declaration of Independence. Every season in Santa Fe is perfect in it’s own way, but there’s nothing like a summer morning on the Santa Fe Plaza.

This 4th of July, consider having breakfast with thousands of your closest Santa Fe friends. 2015 will mark the 40th time we’ve all gotten together for Pancakes on the Plaza (okay – this will be my 5th year, but who’s counting), and you should be there with us.

Sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of Santa Fe with help from First National Santa Fe, this is one of my favorite local Santa Fe events. For $7  in advance or $8 at the event, we get to gather, eat, listen to great music, smile, look at classic cars, laugh, buy local arts and crafts, and see friends we haven’t seen in months. . .it’s  heck of a bargain. And the portions are generous.

We’re also supporting a good cause. With the money that’s made, Santa Fe Rotary Clubs give well-deserved funding to non-profits that fit their criteria.

You know you love the 4th of July. Create a new tradition by joining us from 7 a.m. to noon on the Santa Fe Plaza for Pancakes on the Plaza.
