Calgary Stampede

THE GREATEST OUTDOOR SHOW ON EARTH!
July 09 - 18, 2010
Nestled in the foothills of the majestic Canadian Rockies, the Calgary Stampede is a ten day, city wide celebration of western hospitality.
Calgary's most popular tourist attraction,
'the greatest outdoor show on earth' features a real rodeo, a midway (amusement park), concerts, chuck wagon races and more. The city of Calgary is transformed for 10 days into town celebrating the cowboy culture. Each year, millions of visitors from around the world come to Calgary, Alberta, Canada, to partake in the annual event, the Calgary Stampede and Exhibition.
The Calgary Stampede has a rich history. With origins as an 1886 Agricultural Fair of the world-famous attraction that it is today, the Calgary Stampede's past contains many colorful characters and significant milestones.
Annual Stampede attractions include Rodeo, World Champion Blacksmith's Competition, Animal and Agricultural Events, chuck wagon races. Watch saddle bronco and bareback riding, and the thrilling bull riding. See the crazy clowns, wild cow milking and wild horse races. Walk through an authentic Indian village and a recreated frontier town. Peak of each Stampede day is a must see Grandstand Show with fireworks that ends your day of fun with your family and friends.
Annual free Stampede Pancake Breakfasts are help every day through out the city of Calgary and near by communities like Cochrane.
Ask for more information and directions about The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth!
There is truly no better place to be during the Labour Day long weekend than Cochrane, where every minute is packed with events that are exciting, stimulating and, to be honest, just a little bit odd. There are not many towns where outhouse races take place right down the centre of the main street. The Lions Labour Day Rodeo, a fixture in town every Labour Day weekend since 1968. Come and join us for the weekend of family fun!
