Strathmore, Alberta: Give us Rodeo or Give us Death.

We have spend a few days in the small town of Strathmore, Alberta. Our contacts here were Charles’ Uncle Eric and Aunt Marilyn. Along with his cousins and their great families, we had no shortage of good times here in Strathmore. A ranching town of about 14 thousand, it is pretty surprising that they bring about 10,000 people out each day to the Strathmore Heritage Days Stampede. Featuring a Midway, Running with the Bulls, Chuck Wagon races and much more, it blows the Virgil Stampede right out of the water. Needless to say, we are very excited for our very first real rodeo.

Ps. Real Cowboys do exist and Willms is in his element.

Pps. It is our first rodeo. We would love to get involved. If only we could run with this idea...

Cheers,The Boys
