	Calgary Stampede - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Calgary Stampede, which bills itself as The Greatest Outdoor show on Earth, is a large, non-profit festival, exhibition, and rodeo held in Calgary, Alberta for 10 days in the second week of every July.
		The Calgary Exhibition was first held in 1886 soon after the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the city.
		The annual Calgary Stampede serves two tonnes of bacon and sausage, 5,000 bottles of pancake syrup and 85,000 containers of juice.

	Calgary Stampede
		The Calgary Stampede, which is expected to attract more than 250,000 visitors to the city of 730,000 by the time it closes on July 16, features an agricultural show, a midway with roller-coaster rides and a casino, much like summer fairs anywhere.
		The Calgary Stampede was founded in 1912, dreamed up by an American promoter named Guy Weadick who had toured the Wild West shows of his day, settled in Calgary and decided to create a spectacle bigger and better than all the others.
		At the Calgary Stampede last week, three horses were injured and had to be killed, one in a chuckwagon crash and two in horse riding events.

		The Calgary Exhibition and Stampede is a combined agricultural fair and RODEO.
		As its fame spread, the Stampede expanded its facilities to include a 16 000-seat grandstand, a large trade centre, the Stampede Corral ice rink, an agricultural complex, a recreated western town and a combined curling, tennis and trade show facility.
		Stampede organizers and participants have since been ordered to prove the safety of livestock during the events, and both internal and external investigations have cleared them of any culpability.
