MY CANADA Part #15b
Calgary, Alberta, CA

Stampede

This is the largest rodeo in the world and a damn great excuse to wear a hat, not any hat but a cowboy hat.

Stampede goes over two weeks, filled with parades, bull riding and chuck wagon races

but it's mainly what happens around the stampede fairgrounds that counts. It's one big carnival of fun.


and no fairgrounds would be a fairgrounds without the "Rides" and there are heaps of them

So it is with fond farewell I say goodbye to Stampede and to Calgary as I head off to London in two days time.

Cheers Calgary, it was fun (big hangover!!!)
