0.000 HBDStampede 2018
Today I'll show you some details from the Calgary Stampede site. The whole festival takes place from 6-15 of July. There is a lot of different events, shows, and competitions and it's impossible to see them all. A lot of food, drinks, and music too. Saturday was a hot day and five hours was enough to see some of the most attractive stuff and learn some history at the same time. #  # You can see how long ago everything started. #  # Here is the demonstration of how they start farming here. The farmer at that time was happy if he had two horsepowers in the field. #  # Today 500 HP is just about right to do all the field work. #  # Blacksmith is a dying profession I guess, #  # but it still looks attractive for the visitors. #  # Turkey Drumsticks were big and tasty. #  # Cowboy boots. Always in; like the hats. #  # Another good use of a big GMC truck. You can sleep over wherever you like. #  # In the afternoon was just a small league. For fun. I'm sure some good bull riders showed up latter and impress the spectators. #  # Calgary has two rivers. Bow River and Elbow River. This is one of them with the City downtown in the background and if you look carefully you can see the Indian Tipis among trees on the right side of the photo. #  # We had some seniors among us and got a 50% discount on the entry but when we were entering the beer garden they checked our IDs. Can you imagine this sign at Octoberfest in Gremany? Two cans of 0.3L of beer per person and $8 each? The young boy explained to me he didn't write the regulations. Common guys? You must be kidding me. I bought three cans and I must have called my wife to get them. What a F.. shame. Oh, and I almost forgot. No smoking in the beer garden also. They really know how to attract customers. As long you eat some poutine, a dozen donuts, and you drink 2 liters of coke you are a good citizen. Hey, but don't forget to light a joint while you're waiting on a cab to take you home. #  # I'm against smoking, but it's an open garden. And here is even more. Enlarge the photo and think about it. #  # No comment. # Sorry for the rant. I usually don't do that. I learned a lot on this year's Stampede and ad Octoberfest on my wish list. # **Have a great one, my friends.**
