BP and I hit the Calgary Stampede yesterday in the afternoon and again in the evening. I will say, it was much better in the evening than it was during the day. It wasn’t as hot so the crowds don’t get to me. I wasn’t as crowded either which is always good.
I don’t have any tickets for any of the rodeo events which is too bad. They sold out VERY quickly this year which isn’t too much of a surprise seeing as it is the 100th Anniversary of the Stampede. I am going back on Saturday, a friend from work has VIP passes. I am not sure if the VIP passes include any of the events but if they do, that will be VERY cool as it will be the championship round.
The midway and what not are quite large at Stampede. Great food as well, but, I am really not too sure what else there is to do there – I guess I should pick up a guide…
Today, we are heading to Maclean Creek to have a BBQ. No plans for the morning, it is nice just to relax and take it easy – doesn’t always have to be go, go, go…
