Not sure what the big deal is about the Calgary Stampede but then again, I'm not from Canada. The Stampede reminded me of the annual OC Fair that we have in SoCal except with a rodeo, cowboy hats, and cowboy boots. The only difference that I saw was that they had mini donuts and I don't think we have mini donuts at the OC Fair. Entrance fee was pretty pricey and everything was fried there. I did really love the idea of the dream home and the fun raffles and prizes that you could win.
