For those of you that have been to the Stampede this year, you may have seen one of the performances by human cannonball David “The Bullet” Smith Jr. Currently the world record holder for the longest human cannon ball shot, Smith Jr. launches himself 46 metres (about 150 feet) across the Saddledome Plaza everyday…
Fries, gravy, cheese… and then some lamb, red onion, tomatoes and feta?! Heaven’s calling!
Bacon on a stick – pretty awesome, right? It’s a thick cut piece of bacon, both crispy and juicy.
Name of Food: Colossal Onion Where to Buy: Bloom’n Onions near the Corral building (#67). Cost: A whopping $10 What makes it worthwhile: If you like onions, you’ll like this piece. It tastes like an onion ring with extra oil and dough. It’s basically a huge onion sliced up, opened and dipped into dough. It’s…
The Turkeytini sounds like it could be a concoction of alcohol and turkey, but thankfully it’s not.
If you like mashed potatoes, you’ve hit jackpot. This sundae contains the softest mashed potatoes I’ve ever tasted.
The Kubie Kornballs are little balls of well, “korn.” Don’t take it literally, they aren’t balls made out of a metal rock band.
If you like cheese pizza, you might question the price of this one. It tastes exactly like any other cheese pizza, except it costs so much more (then again, what doesn’t during the wonderful time at Stampede?)
When you mix sweet, glazed donuts with a salty beef patty, you’ll get Stampede’s own version of the Luther Burger.
This weekend I was one of the very fortunate, and excited, Calgarians to go to the Calgary Stampede. But on the down side, I missed the parade this year (summer school). Nonetheless, the Stampede was extremely fun. Except for the fact that I’m now short on money. By a lot. You couldn’t possibly do everything…
The deep fried Pop-Tarts are simply a treat that you’d get for the sole leisure of trying something different.
[youtube LNkq9t-gRdA] The Calgary Stampede officially starts today, and kicking off the festivities is the parade of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, followed by the Calgary Stampede parade, led by the “Man in Motion” Rick Hansen. I’m pretty stoked about Stampede, as it is always a blast (money spent notwithstanding). However, I know that…
Staaaaaaampeeeede! This could be the war cry of Calgary, although it’s certainly more a cry of elation than one of bloody battle. And why not? We’re entitled to our fun, and the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth is without a doubt one of the most fun events in Canada, if not all of North America…

How often do you sit down to ponder what you love about culture in Calgary? Well most people never dwell on the subject at all, but on Oct. 3 and 4, 2010, 100 Calgarians gathered to do just that. The group of panelists itself was very diverse, ranging from authors, poets, singers, playwrights, filmmakers and…
