Preparing for the stampede
The annual Calgary stampede is being held here at the end of next week- in a way it is a shame we will miss it but the city has been quieter this week to look around and next week we are told that prices will rise for lots of things so maybe it is best we will not be here ($NZ1-0.72Canadian cents).
In preparation for the event there are flags being erected everywhere on the routes that the parade will take, plus shops and businesses are decorating their windows with stampede related displays and artwork painted on the windows.
Maybe one day we will get back to see it all come together and see the cowboys in action.
