There isn’t too much happening this week at Stampede Park as the majority of the week will be dedicated to tear-down and clean up as Stampede 2010 has come to a close.

That said, just because Stampede is over for this year, it doesn’t mean that things aren’t happening here the rest of the year!

Stampede Park hosts all sorts of events (private and public) at various venues on Park throughout the year, such as concerts, exhibitions, tradeshows and other activities, and you can learn all about them by tuning into the Stampede Blog or by keeping an eye on our official Twitter and Facebook accounts each and every week, all year round.

Plus, you never know; A contest or give-away could happen at any time some point down the line…
