Here it is, guys, the event that we wait for all year round. We've spent enough time practicing our yee-haws, drycleaning our best overalls, and measuring our heads for cowboy hats; we're ready for the Calgary Stampede. As always, the greatest in the world (rodeo clowns and riders alike) gather for some premier cow-taming and steer-wrestling while PETA looks on nude and angry. But even if you're not in it for the rodeo (you monster), there's plenty of live music (mostly mullet-friendly), games, food (deep fried Oreos, anyone?), and events to make the Calgary Stampede a surefire summer highlight. The Calgary Stampede runs from today (July 3) to July 12 at Stampede Park.
