THE STAMPEDE

That's short for Calgary Exhibition and Stampede, is without a doubt the biggest event of the year in Calgary and the next one will be from July 4th to the 13th in 2008.

For those of you who are new around here, as well as those who expect to be here in July, may I suggest you head on over to this Stampede web site and start planning your days and make the necessary reservations now.

There is no way that you can take in all the activity in one day. Partly because there are different events each and every day,

Also, in the case of the rodeo events and chuck wagon racing events the championships are based on daily results achieved that add up and culminate into the finals that determine the best of the bunch.

Having said that, let me assure you that each day’s events are extremely exciting to watch and will leave you with considerable respect for these athletes who prefer to be called cowboys.

There are shows and exhibitions all over the sprawling grounds to suit everyone from youngsters to seniors, and the free entertainment events spill outside the Park with mini parades and FREE Pancake Breakfasts all around the city.

One of the greatest places to be during this special time is smack-dab downtown for 10 days of fantastic and FREE festivities as you can see by checking here for Stampede happenings

It’ a great time to be in Calgary and everyone gets into the spirit by dressing western.

By the way, Calgary has many other festivities happening throughout the entire year.
