Calgary Stampede 2012 (Calgary, AB) #TTOT

A couple of summers ago, I had a taste of my first Calgary Stampede, even though my brother and my sister-in-law and nephews have lived in Calgary for quite a long time and even though I’ve lived in Canada for more than a decade. And despite the fact that I write travel features on my blog quite often, there are times when I am completely overwhelmed and forget to write about something in time. Well, the Calgary Stampede is literally upon us, and will take place from July 6th to the 15th.

Over the past century, the Calgary Stampede has welcomed millions of visitors to The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth. And whether they rode a bucking bronc in the first Stampede or rode the C-train to Stampede Park last year, they all have a story to share.

I loved the Calgary Stampede, and hope you have a chance to check it out. I also may be able to run giveaways for some ticketed events. Stay tuned!
