All Reddit →Someone on Reddit posted that the Stampede grounds felt noticeably smaller this year—especially the BBQ area, which used to have around 4–5 different vendors grouped together but now has only two. Overall, fewer vendors and less to explore compared to past years.
Hit-and-run at Memorial Drive and Deerfoot around 5:15 p.m. Saturday—silver BMW clipped a red Nissan Rogue's back end and took off. Police file #CA26300992; if you saw it, DM or contact police.
If you're budgeting for rides, buying on the grounds costs $10 for 14 tickets, $30 for 58, or $60 for 136. The big Ferris wheel runs 20 tickets, the smaller one 12. Swings are 15, gondola's 12. Folks have been hunting these numbers online and coming up empty.
Lily, a black cat with white chest and paws, went for a night walk Sunday in Coach Hill and hasn't come back. She's microchipped and was wearing a bright green breakaway collar. Her owner thinks fireworks and Stampede noise may have spooked her into hiding or getting lost.
A Calgary family has been dealing with severe diarrhea, stomach cramps, vomiting and nausea for over two weeks. The original poster's wife started it, then their kids—now the 13-year-old's hit hardest and can barely eat. They're heading to children's emergency wondering if it's Cyclospora, the infection outbreak hitting the U.S. right now.
heads up — fraud hitting people at crowded Stampede spots. someone's card got compromised after Canada Day and Stampede food trucks. might wanna monitor your accounts if you've been out.
