Howdy everyone!
An annual celebreation of Western culture, the Calgary Stampede, just ended for another year in my hometown. I attended the event with a few friends on Saturday, and I just wanted to share a few pictures with you folks:
The event takes place just outside downtown Calgary, in the south part of the city. It draws over a million people over its 10-day show; it's really a good time, dubbed the "Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth" . B) :p

Wow. I haven't been near a rodeo, or horse racing event in...well gosh, longer than I can remember. :p It's almost like an old time county fair from the bygone era. :D :D

It really is an interesting experience. This year, the Stampede rodeo became the highest level of rodeo in the world, with a $1.6 million prize for the winner. Only the top 20 in the world qualify for the Stampede rodeo as of this year.
