点评:This has been on my bucket list for awhile and our whole Canada holiday, from the UK, was built around it. It didn't disappoint. After watching parade in comfort from bleacher seats provided by the West Calgary Round Table, including a filling pancake breakfast, we made our way to the grounds for the first day of the rodeo. Free entry in the first day and free transport to the event of course means it was very busy, but that's to be expected. The rodeo itself was mind-blowing, I've watched videos but seeing what those bronco riders do to their bodies is awe-inspiring. The next day we came mid-morning via Uber to the Macdonald Ave entry instead of the main ones - completely empty (top tip!). The Elbow River camp was such a peaceful and calm why to start the day. We saw the Mounties Musical Show, visited all the animals, got tattoos, won on the carnival games, had lots of food (lemonade is delicious, as are deep-fried cinnamon buns), then watched the evening show. The chuck-wagon and relay races were thrilling. The rest of the show was OK, but could have been half the length. The drone show and fireworks were the highlights of that bit. It does get cold (although the day was hot), so dress in layers and take coats, hoodies, blankets etc (Lammle's was selling loads that 2nd night).
