Boom town Calgary, Alberta and the stampede is on! It seems like everyone joins in for the 10 day event, the whole town is a sea of cowboy hats, boots and blue jeans. There is a casual feel in the air and we've arrived just in time to catch the last day of rodeo mania when all the final competitions take place; chuck wagon races, broncos and bucking bull riding, calf roping and more. Ah, if I was 20 years old again I would be in 'cowgirl' heaven. There is something very attractive about a strong, macho cowboy in leather chaps, spurs and a cowboy hat ready to knock his brains around and risk his limbs on wildly bucking bronco.
It's Stampede time in the Wild West, Calgary, Canada
Boom town Calgary, Alberta and the stampede is on! It seems like everyone joins in for the 10 day event; doctors, lawyers, flight attendants, shop keepers, the whole town is a sea of cowboy hats, boots and blue jeans. There is a casual feel in the air and we've arrived just in time to catch the last day of rodeo mania when all the final competitions take place; chuck wagon races, broncos and bucking bull riding, calf roping and more. Ah, if I was 20 years old again I would be in 'cowgirl' heaven. There is something very attractive about a strong, macho cowboy in leather chaps, spurs and a cowboy hat ready to knock his brains around and risk his limbs on wildly fast and out of control four legged beasts!
