Wow! What a weekend! Did everyone have fun this weekend at the Canadian Rodeo Tour Championship? Did you go see Lonestar at the Blackstar Saloon? See the New Queen and Princesses? Congratulations to the 2010 Stampede Queen Katie Rochon, 2010 Stampede Princesses Kirstie Rougeau and Janelle Phillips, and the 2010 Indian Princess Sahvanne Weasel Traveller.
Anyways, it’s Monday, so that means it’s time for another edition of What’s Happening where we’ll highlight some of the events that are happening on Stampede Park this week. On tap: A concert or two, a couple of hockey games, and an old Stampede favourite: Team Penning.
Oh yeah, and the Metalocalypse is coming to town too!
First, the Canadian Team Cattle Penning Association will be holding their National Finals at the Stampede Corral on Oct. 9 to 12. You’ll be able to see teams from all ages compete for over $380,000 in cash and prizes over the four days. If you’ve never seen this event before, it’s very easy to follow and exciting to watch. See the Stampede Blog’s 2009 Stampede Spotlight on Team Cattle Penning for a very brief primer if you’re unfamiliar with the sport of Team Penning.
Next, we have a couple of concerts. First off, the Blue Man Group will be playing at the Pengrowth Saddledome on Saturday Oct. 10 at 8 p.m. They are best known for their wildly popular theatrical shows and concerts which combine music, comedy and multimedia theatrics to produce a totally unique form of entertainment. For ticket availability for their Calgary tour date, see Ticketmaster.
Hide your women and children! The Metalocalypse is coming to town! The Metalocalypse: Dethklok and Mastodon concert is coming to the Big Four building on Tuesday, Oct 6 at 6:00 p.m. Heavy metal bands Dethklok and Mastodon will be playing along with high on fire and CONVERGE. For ticket availability, see Ticketmaster.
Finally, the Calgary Flames host the Montreal Canadians on Tuesday Oct. 6 and the Dallas Stars on Friday Oct. 9 at the Pengrowth Saddledome in NHL Hockey action. Start time for both games is at 7 p.m.
Again, lots of variety this week on Park (did I mention that the Metalocalypse is coming?). Tune in again next week where we’ll take another peek at some of the things happening Here. All Year.
