The Calgary Stampede, the 'greatest outdoor show on earth' (while West Edmonton Mall is the 'greatest indoor show on earth'), ends today! Every year it runs from July 8 to July 17.
The Calgary Stampede is a world-famous 'volunteer-supported, not-for-profit community organization that preserves and promotes western heritage and values'. Basically it's a ten-day event with lots of farm animals, pancakes, and cowboy hats.
This year, Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (Catherine Middleton and Prince William) came on July 8 to officially start this year's annual Stampede Parade!
