My fellow student labourers and I paid a visit to the Calgary Stampede this last weekend. A recap of the weekend: We stopped at the Enchanted Forest along the way, visited the cheap beer garden in the Agricultural Center, had Fletcher hypnotized, saw the mountain biking show, and watched a K-OS concert. That was actually just the first day.
There was also a really great photography exhibit in the "Round-Up Centre", and all sorts of infomercial-esque items being hocked with free samples and the fast-talking salespeople just like you'd see on TV! I even hugged a cow without it scowling at me. (and not just any cow, this was a show cow - Alex could barely keep his hands off it.)
It's all in the photos, so click the thumbnail to view the whole gallery.
