A Day In The Life.......

[disneydream06]

Now I will just share some miscellaneous pictures from the day...

Do you remember the line of stalls in the horse barn that displayed different breeds of horses?
Well, they added a new breed(?), the Donkey...

Yep, just a stand in. lol...

I sat and watched a comedian, Kenny Ahern, do a show. He was very family friendly and funny.
He brought up some kids on stage and did some tricks with them.


At one point I rode the Sky Ride from one end of the fair grounds to another. Gives you a bit of a bird's eye view of the fair...

In the background is the Coliseum where the do the animal judging and shows...

Looking down on the Giant Slide...

Looking over at the ferris wheel...

A couple of adorable Alpacas...

And I did some shopping at the Alpaca booth.
I got a little lion to go with the teddy bear I got last year...

And a "bomber" Winter hat...

I got out of the sun for awhile and sat in the Coliseum and watched some horse competitions...



This is the tshirt I wore on Thursday. It's our current Democrat Governor and Lt. Governor.
I got 4 compliments and one rude remark.


Well, I am thinking there will be two more entries about the fair.
One to show some flowers and the other to show art work using seeds...

Cute Alpacas!
I love the sky rides as it gives a person a good feel of the fair :)

They have another one that runs a different direction. It's an open seat, kind of like old ferris wheel seats. It claims to not stop for boarding/exiting, but every time you look up at it it seems to at a stand still. LOL.......

In July we have the Calgary Stampede and I love it, but the chuckwagon race?? Nope. :(

[disneydream06]

I have seen clips of that. Talk about dangerous. :o :o :o

[moonblossom]

Oh yeah. :( I wish they would stop with the damn races but hey.... some people enjoy that stuff. :x

[disneydream06]

I would like to see it, but at the same time I don't wanna support the possibility of the horses getting hurt. :o

[moonblossom]

It can get really bad. https://youtu.be/x4sDr3BrVbI

Has it always been outdoors?
I thought I remembered seeing pictures of it inside a stadium. :o

[moonblossom]

Nah, most of the Stampede is outdoors.

[disneydream06]

Maybe I just saw close ups of the grandstand area. :p

[moonblossom]
