	PEOPLE
		So at the same time Weadick comes in 1908, you’ve got the end of the open range as cattlemen believed it to be the end and there was already nostalgia for this dying way of life.
		You needed a Weadick, you needed a city that was ready for it and you needed a reason to hold it and the money to put it on and they all came together.
		Weadick on the other hand, he’s still around, he realizes he’s not going to be able to hold another stampede so the idea was mooted.

		This was the real thing and the child, born Guy Weadick, February 23, 1885, was determined to see it all for himself.
		She was a true partner in every sense of the word and Guy would often remark that in their 49 years together they had only spent a few hours apart.
		Guy agreed and a week later McMullen sent Alec Fleming, foreman of the Bar-U Ranch to meet up with Weadick and arrange a meeting out at the Bar-U. And so it was that on September 2, 1912, the largest Wild West Show in history took place in the small city of Calgary, population 60,000.
