Yup. This sounds about right.
People who are new to Calgary or just visiting will often ask what is the deal with the Stampede. Depending on who is asking, I will tell them about the fair grounds, the chucks, the Grandstand show, the fireworks … or I tell them about the 10-day never ending party. Which goes a little something like this.
Aww, I hate missing the parade this year!
Gross. I did laugh at ‘cab’s gonna be here in four hours’ though.
Pathetically, all too true.
Too many times have I been told “it’s water!!!” at the Stampede. It’s not water, it’s a eight dollar beer.
Yup. This sounds about right.
