Why I want to go to this place
There was a young lady who came to the US to teach for a couple of years, She lives in Calgary and wants me to visit her sometime and has said that we would go to the Stampede. She told me that I would absolutely love it. I hope to go sometime.
Of course I want to see her again. She is one of my best friends.

A review of this place: Fond Memories
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.

I wouldn't have picked this as a destination...
But we were visiting friends in Calgary who INSISTED. More cowboy hats than Texas. And an AMAZING little device that makes tiny doughnuts. Yum.
And we watched a couple exhibitions that were remarkable, that really changed my mind about rodeos. I expected the macho BS of brutalizing creatures that had been purposely enraged for sport. I bet there was some of that too but there were also events where a human and creature interacted on this very intimate and personal way. Like where a dog divides up a flock of sheep and aims them into a pen. Or folks on horseback do all sorts of crazy stuff with another big herd of cattle. Or there was this elderly man, dressed entirely in black who showed a prize goat, paraded him around the ring, proud, their steps in sync. I can still see that guy.
Plus did I mention those amazing little doughnuts?
