RE: A day on the midway - the Calgary Stampede
Hey @jfolkmann, nice to see a fellow Canadian here :) I'm originally from Ontario, but spent most of my adult life in BC. It's funny, but I was just telling a Texan @janton about the Calgary stampede today, because he did a post on early 20's cattle drives in the states. I was way off with the numbers attending! That's incredible.
Funny thing is, I never made it to the stampede, mostly because I'm not a fan of the whole rodeo thing. But I love a good fair :) We've relocated to Mexico now, and there was recently a midway set up near our place...let me just say, the safety standards are lacking here compared to home :)
Sorry for the late reply. I'm not a huge a huge fan of the rodeo either...but it's fun for a day. I'm not sure the safety standards are much better ;)
haha you're probably right @jfolkmann; nothing screams success than a hungover carnie with a screwdriver 😅
