Travel Deal for June 3, 2013
The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth is one month away and you can still get hotel rooms for Western Canada’s most fun-filled celebration.
The Westin Calgary — known as the home of the original Bloody Caesar cocktail — is always among the leading hotel headquarters for Stampede-goers. The 2013 Calgary Stampede runs from July 5-14 and features a star-studded lineup of entertainers, as well as midway rides, rodeo thrills, and loads of food, drinks and fun times.
The Westin offers packages for $349 per couple, which includes general admission tickets to the Stampede and one night’s stay, and on up to $451 for tickets to the chuckwagon races, other rodeo events and the Grandstand show. Located 2.5 kilometres from Stampede Park, the Westin is a short drive or 30-minute walk to the fairgrounds. Guests at the Westin annually enjoy one of the most boisterous atmospheres in the city during the 10-day Stampede.

Vacay.ca Gears Up for the Stampede
Jody Robbins of Vacay.ca has produced a guide to all the attractions and must-see events at the 2013 Stampede. The top draws include the opening parade, featuring Parade Marshal Chris Hadfield, Canada’s most popular astronaut, and the KISS concerts.
Robbins writes: “Time to dust off yer boots, and get ready for the annual urban cowboy extravaganza that is the Calgary Stampede. After all the hoopla surrounding last year’s centennial, the Stampede’s getting back to basics, as evidenced by this year’s theme, Stampede 101. Returning to its roots, this new century in Stampede history will focus on the land, the people and the animals that come together to make this event the greatest outdoor show on earth.”
