Calgary Stampede

The Calgary Stampede is a yearly event where the cowboy culture is embraced for 10 days in Calgary. It's such a huge event into it's 98th year*, that the company HQ is closed on the opening day, and it's a tradition that every team in the company would have a Stampede event. My team's Stampede event is to head down to Calgary Stampede grounds for the rodeos! These people sure do know their stuff.

If anyone is unsure of when to visit Calgary, Stampede season is a great time - though the whole city is filled with people from outside Calgary, and is sooo crowded (albeit not as bad as Singapore).


* When it's the 100th year, it's going to be insane!
