OLD TIME RIGS
Tour downtown Calgary in a horse-drawn old time rig and enjoy a free pancake breakfast along the way!
Meet our volunteers at the NE corner of Fluor Rope Square, across from City Hall. A limited number of
free tickets are distributed to passengers each day on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 8:30 AM.
The wagons fill quickly! Ticket holders are then escorted from Fluor Rope Square at 9:30 AM to the
departure point on 9th Avenue and 1st Street SW (EnCana Place across from the Palliser Hotel). The tour
leaves at 10:00 AM and takes approximately one hour. Rig passengers are welcome to stay on board all
the way to Stampede Park and be dropped off in front of the Park's main north entrance.

ENTERTAINMENT & ACTIVITIES
Fluor Rope Square presents marching bands, dancers, singers, fiddlers, clowns, fun and friendly mascots
and an old-fashioned gunfight. You could be invited to compete in the Lammles’ World Champion Hat
Stomp Contest, the Fluor Great Western Flapjack Flip or be sworn in as an Honorary Calgarian. The
Stampede Queen and Princesses make daily guest appearances, in addition to other visiting dignitaries
and celebrity guests. Be sure to enter the Fluor Daily Prize Draw. Just look for Jake, the giant cowboy, and
his gal Jacki as they welcome you to the Fluor Rope Square "Saddle Stage”. You can’t miss him. He’s 28
feet high! Now that’s one big cowboy!

Witness members of the five surrounding tribes dressed in traditional native outfits as they proudly share
their heritage and culture through dance, music and commentary. Come join them in the Friendship
Dance.
