Chuckwagon Suppers
The Flying W Chuckwagon
Suppers originated in 1953 when an evening's crowd of twenty
considered outstanding! Many nights during the first year there
were more cowboys than customers. However, the growing
popularity of an evening under the stars esting the great food
typical of the fare cowboys enjoyed from the chuckwagon, and the
singing and entertainment in the firelight drew increasingly
larger crowds to the Flying W. Now over one hundred thousand
people attend chuckwagon suppers each year. Over 1,400 people
can be seated outside, and in case of inclement weather, 1,400
people may be seated inside and kept toasty warm.
