The Calgary Stampede is finally over for another year. Kudos to all the volunteers, city crews and planners that, despite Calgary's worst flooding we've ever experienced, they managed to pull it off on a short amount of time. To think, about two weeks ago the city of Calgary's downtown core was evacuated and the Stampede Grounds were submersed in mud and water, shows a high degree of western spirit.
I have one more early wake-up (at about 4:30 am) for tomorrow, then after the event, my guest caricaturist, Emily Anthony will board a jet and fly back to her home in Philidelphia, US. Emily was a great help and terrific company while we ran from event to event eating "junk food" inbetween events........thank you Emily! Now....time to revamp my diet, do all the paperwork and perhaps try to sleep in...............
