"Calgary stampede has put a small city in Alberta on the map"? Calgary is the largest city in Alberta, and the around the 4th or 5th largest city in Canada (due to it's success in the oil and gas industry). A million people doesn't compare to some of the worlds larger cities. But that's definitely not 'small'
I've lived in Calgary for near 14 years and never once attended a Stampede Parade,but mostly just because I was always working when they were going on.Not only that,I'd have to get up so early just to go downtown and make sure I had a decent enough spot as well even when I had the chance to go.
@SuperIzzybelle Because it's one of the greatest rodeos in the world.
But I really want to run this rodeo one day! As well as the daddy, Cheyenne! And I love Canada, and this is coming from an American! I'm jealous of all of ya'll who live there.
To lukesmail1 ; Calgary is a great city to live in lot of work ,it's cold in the winter but you will get to it , the summer is great the city turns into a cowtown for two weeks and it's a lot of fun and this is comming from a black guy .Plus there is always Banff if you need to get out of the city for the weekend
@lukesmall1 I have lived in Calgary all my life, It's a great city, and we have the Rockies so close by. The mountains and the rest of southern Alberta have some of the most beautiful places on earth. Living here will take some getting used to, but it's wonderful. I hope you like hockey...the Stampede rules the city in July, and the Flames dominate the winter!
@lukesmall1 I personally hate living in Calgary. The snow removal system is really shitty, environmental protection is the same quality, and it's the most conservative city in Canada. Good luck if you're liberal, NDP, or Green party. I'm a lesbian, left-wing environmentalist. Guess how much I want to get out of here?
@lukesmall1 I wonder if you decided by now. I've been living in Ontario for a few months and I miss Calgary like craaaazzy. Its a great city my friend!
im not in calgary right now but i was born there and lived there for a long time. were in vacation right now but i ive been to the stampede aboat 5 times. :)
you know we dont wear cowboy hats all year long. its just for the stampede, tourists and when you feel like wearing it. also its not "a small city" we have more than 1 million people... including me ;)
i only go to talk to the cute cops. clearly, i need to get a life! or is it ok for me to want to talk to them since i like them? is it just me or does anyone else go for only ONE thing ???? :\
@GamesNshiet i go every second year, it's a nice experience but i gotta agree with you, i wanted to buy a taco and guess how much??...............$8.00
It's been years since I've been to the Stampede. Lots of fun!

Parade and rodeo is fun but try enjoying the midway at night..you cant. If you go at night its people drunk and fighting.
