I was down at the river cafe for dinner on canada day and the walk to that place totally reminded me of stampede. The majority of people there were really grungy and emo looking just like the good old stampede. Stampede seems to get dirtier and dirtier every year but for some reason i still go.

^ Aside from when the Flames decide to play hockey and make it to the playoffs, Stampede is the only time when the city comes together and parties. Rodeo is awesome

Next week is a writeoff at work, i'm cool with that

I think Calaway Park would be better and less crowded during this time.

Calaway park is terrible. Its the worst Arrow Corkscrew I have been on. There is a reason Calaway park is empty most of the time. There are a few good rides down at the Stampede this year. It was better when Conklin Amusements was running the midway, but they went bankrupt and had to sell all their rides.
