The Calgary Stampede : The Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth

The Calgary Stampede is integral in the identity for the city of Calgary. The city of Calgary is growing and evolving which makes it a challenge in meeting the expectations of all the Calgary Stampede stakeholders. The Calgary Stampede has achieved their purpose to celebrate western heritage, culture and community spirit; however, the stakeholders are not aware of their vison of making the Stampede a year round gathering place for the community in 2016.

You may have heard that “everything is bigger in Texas.” and if you really want to experience how everything is bigger, you go to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR). The HLSR, or “Houston Rodeo” as it is referred to by Houstonians, is the largest event of its kind in the world and has been in session since 1932. In 2013, The HLSR had more people in attendance (approx 2.6 million) at the Rodeo than the entire population of the city of Houston (approx 2.1 million), which happens to be the 4th largest city in the United States as well as the most populated city in the state of Texas. The HLSR is held at Reliant Park for three weeks during March, and since parking is always a hassle, Reliant Park also happens to have one of the largest parking lots available as well.

Long before the Florida Turnpike and the Interstate Highway System ramped up to full speed and swampland in Central Florida was paved over, Florida tourist venues and roadside attractions were an eclectic mix of fun, imagination, intrigue and amazement for everyone. From reptile farms, tropical gardens and aquatic springs to dolphin shows, old west towns and museums of the unique and strange, tourists visiting Florida were able to catch, either by design or on a whim, these venues, as they rolled down US highways 1,19, 41, 301 and all the off-the-beaten-path back roads. But as time marched on, so did the tourist, as they stayed on the interstate and headed for Orlando, to see what all the hub-bub was about in the early 1970s. The venues and attractions may be long gone, but they are not forgotten, as memories of the wonderful tourist and roadside attractions that were a piece of Florida history, are recalled.

Every foreign nation that participated was eager for the opportunity to showcase their unique culture and history. The exhibits were set up in such a way as to highlight the artistic and technological advances each country had made in the last century. These were displayed in “The Palaces,” carefully and lavishly constructed show-places, complete with immense columns and spired towers. The Palaces by themselves made up five million square feet of exhibit space. The Agriculture Palace was the largest of these, alone comprising twenty-three acres. Foreigners were also hired as “living displays,” providing fairgoers with a rare chance to interact with people from exotic places. People were enchanted by geishas and so-called Islander “primitives”. The very best sculptors, carpenters, painters, jewelers, glassblowers and others flocked to Missouri to show off their creations and sell their wares. The Pike was a primary attraction—a mile long presentation of theaters, games, and such adventures as stalking wild animals through a miniature jungle or strolling the streets of ancient Rome. The expression “coming down to the Pike” was coined at the Exposition. Perhaps one of the biggest attractors was that St. Louis was chosen to host the 1904 Olympic games. This was the first time that the Olympics had been held in America since the revival of the event in 1896. Back then, it did not draw nearly so big a crowd as it would

Winnfield, LA was once known for its family values and its rich tradition. In past years, there was a bigger emphasis on community involvement and interaction. Neighbors enjoyed fellowshipping with one another. There were more community activities to help unite the area. Uncle Earl’s Hog Dog Trials have played integral part in the community’s history. One could drive by different businesses and find a decorated ceramic pig that is judged by the community in support of the Hog Dog Trials. As you drove down the road to the fairgrounds you would find people cheering on their favorite breed. Religious affiliations once came together to bring recreational activities to young people. Sports have once been the

Dan and Chris were so excited, they were going to “Barlow’s Great North American Circus” the circus has just come to their town of Smyrna. “Chris we have to go we are going to be late the circus opens at 6:00 and its 5:30” Dan said franticly. “Calm down Dan, the circus is only 15 minutes away from here” Chris said. As Dan and Chris got on their bikes and started riding to the circus, Dan was thinking about how scared he was of elephants. “You okay Dan, you seem kind of flustered” Chris said in a concerned tone. “I’m fine let’s just get there okay” Dan said sternly.

Next, why do we have rodeos? A lot of people enjoy watching the animals buck and go crazy. But it’s not just the people that like to watch it the people that are in rodeos love its their passion there to work and have fun. The contest and games became a national sport. Many people get very excited to watch or to be in the rodeo.

I am not a member of The American Outlaws. The reason I wanted to write about them is because I respect them and understand where they are coming from. They have become one of the most dominant subcultures in American sports. My goal in this paper is not to talk about how great they are. My goal is to take an objective view of how they expanded, the good they have been able to do since they grew, and the negative view they are given because they are so big.

The Stampede Corral plays a host to ice-hockey and tennis matches throughout the year. It is, therefore, a must-visit for all the travelers who are fond of sports, especially hockey and tennis.

Central Idea: Festival culture has transformed into a global phenomenon that began in the 50s-60s.

The Commonwealth Games is a national event that brings many different countries and people together. Helping out the partners of the annual Commonwealth Games is a goal of the upcoming event as is making sure that the athletes and supporters are able to make the most of the opportunities that are provided. Throughout planning for this event, the Commonwealth Games committee has decided the mission for the Commonwealth Games 2018 is to create an athlete focused games with an excellent competition. Throughout branding and advertising for this event they wanted to create a sentence that would sum up their goals, their theme for the event and invite people to come and enjoy the event. What they decided on was “Celebrate an event and a place where anything is possible”.

In recent years the growth of the festival’s attendance has created a problem for many visitors in their ability to find lodging. Resulting in many having to stay in motels and/or bed and breakfasts as far as 60 kilometres away. Readings and musical events sell out within hours after tickets go on sale. Additional readings have been added, but the demand still exceeds the supply.

Herds of people, dressed alike, full of energy making their way to Fischer Field, that’s Newton freaking Kansas every Friday night during the best season of the year. Dreams and thoughts of popcorn and railer gear float through their thoughts as they try to make it through the long and boring Friday. Kids drive their teachers crazy with more energy than bottles on bottles of 5 hour energy. Middle Schoolers plan out who they will eagerly sit with during 4 quarters of gossip, and what the girls will wear to impress ‘the love of their life’. The cries of children who just want to run and play, but are stopped by their so-called mean, fun sucking parents. Long lines lurking from the concession stand, that most parents try to avoid with youngins,
