Yee-haw!!

The buildup to the Calgary Stampede has started... the City of Calgary are giving out 25,000 white cowboy hats on Stephen Avenue!

Now, where's my dang hoss?

Oh I see ...... I have just seen some people walking around with hats on. I thought they were either from the country, or south of the boarder.
