This is a mural of a historical Calgary Stampede at … the Victoria Park/Stampede LRT station in Calgary. We learned a few days ago that the self-style Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth will go on, in the face of a natural disaster of epic proportions.
One week to go before the whole things gets underway. For many, I’m sure it will be a welcome distraction for the unpleasantness in the news.

Just under two months until this year’s edition of the Calgary Stampede, which runs July 5 to 14, 2013.
The Stampede announced last week Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, who’s due to return from space tonight, would be the Stampede parade marshal.

Well it’s too bad I only made it down to the Stampede grounds on its last day, otherwise I might have been acquainted with this culinary discovery a little earlier. It’s a pulled pork poutine, sold by the folks from Calgary’s Big-T’s BBQ. Apart from the usual fries and cheese curds, it’s topped off with their delicious pulled pork and barbecue sauce. A beef variant was also on the menu. Definitely worth a try at the next Stampede …
