Calgary Stampede
The Greates Outdoor Show on Earth
The Cowboys are back in town
Well like I already said the Stampede is for Calgary like the Oktoberfest for Munich.
So I my first day at the Stampede started with the fact, that I totally forgot the Parade. I was over a hour late, because the C-train couldn´t pass the Parade.
Everybody wants to be a Cowboy or Cowgirl during these ten days.
Including me :)
I worked at a leather both in the tradeshow- called Adrian Klis fine leather. Together with Edwin, his girldfriend Zoraina, Edwins sister Patricia and her husband Marty and with Lida a friend of Edwin I spent the most of the time inside in the tradeshow.
Next to all the roller coasters, food stands, lotteries etc. they have had a Casino, a animal show, especially horses, and the Rodeo itselfe as well as the Grandstandshow.
The Rodeo itselfe seems to me like a bunch of Cowboys who spend the most of the time togethter on Rodeos all over America and one day the one, one day the other has the better ride and takes the money home. Seems like a bunch of Cowboys doing what they ve ever been done riding horses or bulls having a lot of fun and pain.
here a song which always reminds me of Rodeos.
