The Calgary Stampede has taken over the city every July since 1923. In this book, many facets of the Stampede experience—the parade, native participation, the midway, cowboy art—are examined as a part of Calgary’s identity. These video interviews feature Max Foran, Professor in the Faculty of Communication & Culture at the University of Calgary. Foran’s book was published by Athabasca University’s AU Press in May of 2008. For more information about this book and others from AU Press, please visit www.aupress.ca

This was part of the Calgary Stampede 2009, with the performance of Terri Clark.

Send Me Off to Sea was written by Sara and she was very excited to have the Stampede band accompany her.
