Today is the first day of the CALGARY STAMPEDE!
I love the Stampede. It’s not just the rides or the food though once I ate a slice of pizza with bigs on it which was pretty amazing.) For me, the Stampede is a ten-day celebration of agriculture—and since my grandparents are crop producers (mainly canola), I have a special connection to “the land.”
Every year, my entire family heads to the Stampede grounds to check out the rodeo, bite into some delicious (or strange) food, take a spin on the Zipper, and of course, tour the pavilions.
Every year I look forward to seeing what's in the Alberta Canola Producers’ Commission booth. Not only can you learn a lot about canola from the producers who take time away from the fields to talk to consumers about their crops (and answer any questions), sometimes they have life-sized statutes of "cartoon me" and many other characters from the Superman Duffy series of graphic novels. If you see "me" there, take a pic!
Put your picture on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter and tag @SupermanDuffy for a chance to win a signed set of the comics. That’s16 books!
Gotta Jet! Hope to see you at the Stampede. Wahoo!
