FOR the past five months, I have been living in Calgary with the Stampede grounds right on my doorstep. After hearing so much about the Calgary Stampede, I was looking forward to experiencing it for myself, and my first Stampede certainly lived up to expectations. It was a completely different experience from anything I would have seen back home in Fermanagh.

The Calgary Stampede is much more than just an event; it is a celebration of the city, its people and its western heritage.
