I’ve always hated being in crowds but I make an exception for the Stampede. It truly is the greatest outdoor show on Earth.

I especially enjoy the carnival foods-corn dogs, donnairs, cotton candy-but my favorite attractions are the vendors selling their wares in the Roundup Centre, the Coca-Cola Stage and the Grand Stand Show.

Don’t try and find parking down there, especially during the summer on a weekend. Leave your car at a park and ride and take the train down instead.

We expected a lot of abuse but were sorely disappointed. I get worse from my mother-in-law!

Still, the food was good and we enjoyed the atmosphere. Beware, if you don’t finish your food you’ll be making a donation to A Loving Spoonful.

Rutland is part of Kelowa. Its not a nice part. I would suggest you head down towards City Park instead or maybe the Apple Bowl or Orchard Park.

There aren’t too many places (any, really) in Kelowna where you risk getting mugged or shot, but Rutland is one.
