I've always been of the opinion that the Stampede isnt really for us locals, I mean, the drop in attendance was more than expected. Lots of laid-off people either dont have the interest or the money, lots of suffering companies arent giving the same perks or throwing the same parties.
But if you've come to town for it the weather isnt going to stop you.
My parents just got back from a vacation in Europe and met a family in Amsterdam who were on their way here for it.
And yes, the Stampede is expensive, in other news water is wet and Edmonton is No Good.
