One of the things about Calgary that is really cool is the world famous Calgary Stampede. Rodeo, exhibitions, rides, corn dogs, mini-doughnuts! But the thing that blows me away is the free concerts. You read that right - free. For the price of admission to the park ($12), you can do all the people watching you want, then settle in for a decent show. This year the acts include Melissa O'Neil (of Canadian Idol err....fame), April Wine, The Philosopher Kings, Sam Roberts, Gino Vannelli and Nelly Furtado. Calgary has also agreed to run the C-Train 24 hours a day during Stampede.
This is an exhibition - not a competition. Please...no wagering.

Rock'n on the free stage.
