The Calgary Stampede and "The Big Show"


The Calgary Stampede has been on for this last 10 days and what a great fun time to be in Calgary. Everybody goes cowboy mad for the duration of the Stampede. Restaurants have bails of hay laying around and the waiters and waitresses all dress in cowboy hats and boots. The Stampede itself was rather special for us as Sophie performed in the Grandstand show, which is deemed as the greatest outdoor show on earth. We helped out program selling and managed to see Sophie for a few nights in the show. The show was amazing with fireworks, acrobats, circus artists on the new cable system which allowed them to float over the heads of the audience and of course the Young Canadians. The kids were absolutely fantastic!! Sophie enjoyed the whole experience and hopes she can be in the show again next year. I have uploaded some more photos - click here.
