I'm curious how often or when the last time was when you went down to the grounds when the Calgary Stampede is on. For myself and my wife, it has to be at least 11 years since we've attended the Stampede in any way and quite possibly 12 years. Once our eldest was old enough (in our opinion) to look after her then we stopped going. Daughter would've been 9 or 10 and the eldest would've been 15 or 16, middle kid would've been 13 or 14. We'd drive them down and then pick them up later that night.
This year I was contemplating going down on Saturday but I just seem to be able to find other things that'll keep me busy, rotate my tires, fix a couple of slow leaking tires, make a new ferret enclosure and other stuff.
