First and foremost you have to look like cowboy and cowgirl as close as possible ... yeehaaaa!!! |
Margaret brought to Chinatown for Dim Sum at Silver Dragon Restaurant. |
The Dim Sum was good and delicious, I like most of the dishes....yeehaaa!!! |
Everything downtown is about Stampede....the decors at the office blocks, shopping malls, parks and almost all the surroundings in Calgary. |
We parked the car at Margaret's work place and took a train to Erlton Stampede station where the stampede site is situated next to it. |
At the entrance of Erlton. |
Indian Village was the first place we visited, I always like seeing Red Indians in cowboy movies and now I have a chance to see their real stuffs. |
The inside of a Red Indian home. |
Cowboy hats are everywhere for you to grab... |
It's party time with lots of food stall, drinks, concerts, exhibition and shows and we were gonna spend the whole day here....yeeehaaaa. |
Lovely cheesy chips to start with ... it was eat and eat time .... |
Barbecue is a must besides the pancakes. |
It's a 10 days event with million of people visiting the place every year. So Calgary Stampede 2014 I was there .... Yeeeehaaaa!!! |
The site got crowded towards the evenings especially after the working hours, they simply love this party. |
I was surprised to see a Chinese lion dance in a cowboy festival. |
Military exhibits were there too. |
A lively show by the Calgary Stampede Showband, it was so entertaining and members of the band were such fun people. I really like their performance.
Horses for sale in a kind of auction proceeding. |
Viewing from our seats. |
The National anthem to start with the event. |
The all time popular Chuckwagon race is held in Calgary Stampede every year and the prize money is in terms of million of dollars. |
After all the excitement of the Chuckwagon races as the sky started to get dark then it was showtime time. |
The grand finale was the fireworks and that ended the evening of a wonderful time and experience of what actually a Stampede celebration is all about. |
That's all folks and the millions that came for Calgary Stampede 2014 for the 10 days. |
