There really is no bigger party in Western Canda...

Uh, that is kind of surprising, but I wasn't really talking about people from western Canada.
The Stampede trumps it up as this big family affair with tourists from all over the world. If that is true, well, I just know some of them are just a little disappointed. If Otto from Hamburg bundles up his wife and kids and comes all the way here for the Stampede, I gotta think he looks around at the Stampede grounds and says "vee picked dis over Dissneyland"?
Maybe I'm wrong. Or maybe because since I've seen it all my life, I don't understand why anyone would choose a "Stampede Vacation" when there are so many other things to do in the world.
Could be that I'm just like the kid with the swimming pool. I've gone swimming a million times, I'm sick of swimming.
