Support LWC on Patreon

It’s the final two days of the 2023 edition of the Calgary Stampede and thus far the show hasn’t disappointed.

The weather’s stayed fine, the crowds have been manageable, and the fun hasn’t stopped. This weekend looks like it could be the perfect cap for the 10-day exhibition.

Attendance stayed firm on Day 8 at the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, with 129,321 showing up on the grounds on Friday. That brings the aggregate up to 1,107,742.  Attendance started super strong, but can it finish even stronger?
