Yahoo! (or Oohay!) It's the week of Calgary Stampede! 

And after the last couple of summers we've had, tons of people are stoked to see the 'Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth' back in full swing. 

It's going to be busy, it's going to be buzzing but that doesn't mean is has to break the bank!

Calgary Stampede always wants everyone to enjoy the festive fun and to help some do that, there's a few things I think you should know about, just to ensure no one is missing out on the action.
