Simply Sunday: Calgary Stampede

Calgary Event Photographer

Posted July 17th, 2011 by Sean Phillips with No Comments

It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to find time to post a Simply Sunday article, but I really wanted to get this one out… Life and work have been ridiculously busy for me over the last couple of months and it looked like I wasn’t going to be able to get down to the Calgary Stampede grounds this year. I have been busy with Stampede related events and activities, but until today I hadn’t been to the Stampede itself. A last-minute opportunity to take in the Stampede Rodeo on the final day of the this years Stampede presented itself and we took it!

As anyone that lives in Calgary knows all too well, the Stampede has a way of taking over for the first couple of weeks of July. Although some people get pretty fed up with it all, I actually really enjoy it and I love to go down and take part in the action on the grounds. We’ve been to the Rodeo several times in the years we’ve lived in Calgary and it’s something that I’m always excited to see. My kids enjoy pretty well everything about Stampede too, and it’s a great opportunity to teach them about farming and animals, and even more about the pleasures of fried food. Mmmm, Mini Donuts!

Here are a few of my favorite images from the grounds and the Rodeo today:
