Calgary Real Estate Community Reviews

Visited Calgary Alberta for two days. First day we went to the afternoon Rodeo and the second to the evening show. We really enjoyed the Rodeo, but was bit disappointed with the rest of the Stampede consisting of mainly food stall and funfair rides. We went early the second day thinking we could go to the Nashville tent but were informed that there were queues up to 2 hours long just to get into the tent which was obviously packed. The evening show was brilliant> there was Chuck Wagon racing to start with which was entertaining enough to start with but became a bit tedious by the 9th race especially once you saw that provided Wagon No 1 completed his turn roughly in line with the other two they almost always won. Setting up for the show took a bit of time while they wheeled the backdrop into place, which was an impressive set up. The Country Singer who came on after the DJ was excellent. Wasn't sure what was coming after he went off stage as we thought he was the main event. The show which followed involving local children of a range of ages was absolutely brilliant working so well with the stage lighting, the drones and ultimately the fireworks. We took the Metro train to and from the event from Downtown which was pretty efficient. It is not possible to buy a return ticket but the transport company put on lots of additional staff selling tickets to supplement the machine which helped greatly. The Friday afternoon and Saturday evening combination we had the best from a visit to the Stampede.
