Calgary Stampede

F or those who don't know I am off to the Calgary Stampede on July 11-13 courtesy of 98.5 The Ocean radio station here in Victoria!!! I won round air fare, hotel, two tickets to the rodeo and the best of all two tickets to the and only Canadian stop for KENNY CHESNEY!!!!! I have never won anything like this before so I was very happy to receive a 6:35am wake up call this past Friday. This is the perfect prize package for me!!!! My name is even on their web site!!!
I have picked my sister to come with me except her boss is being a bit ridculous and is probably not going to give her the time off even though she said she would! So, I am in the middle of trying to get them to change the name on the details for flights etc. I have talked to West-Jet to see what their policy was for changing the name of the person flying and they have a $40 charge for changing the passenger name. Please pray that they (the radio station) will agree to changing the name so I can take my mom (who wants to see the stampede) oh yeah and she will be the chapperon!!!
It doesn't seem real just yet, but this time in four weeks I will be in Calgary!!!!
As for what else is happening down here, I am off to China Creek for the weekend to spend some time fishing with my parents and Blair who flew down on Sunday for a week to go fishing and to see my parents. I'm hopping to catch some fish this weekend.
I was at the Undersea Gardens today and Trav, there was this huge salmon that was larger than yours. I thought the fish you caught was big but this guy puts yours to shame!!!
Anyways everything here is going great! School is out in one week!!! A very busy time for us trying to get everything done and organized for the summer.
Take care
