In just over a month the Calgary Stampede will begin!

世界最大のアウトドア・ショー」と言われるカルガリー・スタンピードでは、ジーンズを履いて、ステットソン帽(カウボーイ・ハット)をかぶり、サドルにまたがって、カウボーイの祭典を満喫しましょう。初日の目玉は、マーチング・バンド、150台以上の山車、たくさんの馬が練り歩くパレードです。世界最強のロデオ・アスリートたちが荒れ狂う馬や雄牛にまたがる姿や、投げ縄で牛を捕まえる姿に興奮を抑え切れません。しかし一番の見どころは、4頭立て馬車で競争するチャックワゴン・レースでしょう。心臓がバクバクするような光景が目の前に繰り広げられます。グランドスタンド・ショーも必見です。歌手やダンサーに加えて馬も登場するパワーあふれるステージです。農場に戻る前には、スタンピード・マーケットで伝統的なカウボーイのお土産品を探してみてはいかがでしょう。
