The Sunshine Patrol spent Saturday hanging out at the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, the Calgary Stampede!

 

It was a beautiful day!  Cool in the moring and by the afternoon the sun was out and shining and the wind had completely died down.  I was at Olympic Plaza where everyday during the Stampede they're having Fluor Rope Square. It starts up everyday at 9:00am and  on week days it goes till about 1:00pm and on weekends till 12:00pm.  There's lots of interesting entertainment like Lammle's Hat Stomping Competition...competitors are given 30 seconds to tear a cowboy hat to shreds, the trick, they have to put it back on at the end!  There's also native dancing, carriage rides and more!

 

Ever had a pancake with bacon cooked directly in it?!  Well that's what they serve up for breakfast!  And surprisingly, it's quite good!

 

Happy Stampede!
