 Canadian Journal of Communication - Vol. 18, No. 3 (1993)
The Stampede rodeo and chuckwagon breakfasts in the streets signal instead enduring foundational traditions of the colonizing white man, whose efforts have produced industrial society.
The strength of the Stampede's story of origins is also materially secured by its articulation with other national foundation myths, and Banff Indian Days, held at Banff until the 1970s, is one such articulation which is important for two reasons.
At the Calgary Stampede, the parade, the layout of the fairgrounds, the rodeo, and the media all lay out a particular ``pedagogy'' of regional origins, articulated to national narratives of identity.

A Stampede event since 1923, the race begins with outriders loading up tent poles and stoves into chuckwagons that are driven by one cowboy and pulled by four horses.
As quintessential to the Calgary Stampede as the chuckwagons, the Stampede breakfast is a tasty tradition comprised of pancakes (also known as flapjacks) and sometimes bacon, sausages and eggs.
The tradition of the Stampede breakfast is said to have begun in 1923 with "Wildhorse Jack" Morton, one of the west's legendary cowboys, who served flapjacks out of his chuckwagon.

And the job, as difficult as it might be at times, is to see past those likes and dislikes to judge a show or an album or a band on its own merits.
Unfortunately, in the case of Weezer, who performed last night at the Stampede Corral, all appearances of being unbiased are forgone.
It's a fairly decent pop rock band, that faltered only when the frontman gave in to his Brit pop leanings, going a little too over-the-top (throwing a handful of sparkles, for instance) for a relatively unheard-of band that's the first on a bill of three.

Often in a cattle stampede the front rank becomes exhausted, and the animals in it would willingly give up and cease running, but there is an irresistible pressure from those in the rear.
That will make it easier for you to hold in the cattle." There was some wire at the corral, and with this, and by using some of the broken posts and boards, the gap in the fence was made smaller so the cattle would not be so likely to try to rush through it.
