Yahoo it’s Stampede!
I am full of corndogs, beer, and the cowboy spirit. Okay, maybe not now but I will be soon when I make my way to the grounds to take in this years stampede. Like many others I will pig out and act like an idiot … but it’s completely acceptable as long as I wear a cowboy hat.
This will be my third Stampede, but I must admit something I feel guilty about … I have yet to go to the parade. I have been stuck working every year and have never had the chance to see the floats, horses, and clowns. If I did get the chance, I’m sure it would be because I’m working which would probably diminish the fun of it all. At the same time it would probably be the funnest story ever.
Maybe that’s why Kevin Usselman has dibs on the parade story every year.
My favourite thing about the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth is actually the rodeo. The midway and food kiosks are fun and all, but coming from Toronto I grew up with that at the CNE. This is why I can’t wait to see some cowboys bucked off a bull or horse.
I’m going right after work and I hope to see you there.
