Survived Stampede

I am proud to say that we have survived yet another Calgary Stampede. A great event that brings travellors from all over the world. It is 10 days of fun, celebrating and for those who really get involved a lot of drinking. I went out one night with 2 girlfriends and had a blast watching people. I did come away wondering what the tourists say about our city when they return home after a week of experiencing the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth. We are a young city full of young families, a prosperous city due to a great economy, and a short drive from the Rocky Mountains. There is lots to see and do as a family in and around our city that happens to include the Calgary Stampede. For 10 days most people pull out their cowboy hats and cowboy boots and dust them off for a week of fun. When it is all over, the boots and hats for most go back in to the closet for another year and life returns to normal. Honestly, we are not like this all year round. Check us out, you may just decide to take your next family vacation to Calgary.
