Hi Calgary!!
How have you been enjoying your 101st Calgary Stampede so far?
It is truly so exciting to be entering into our second Century together.
In light of the recent events that have transpired thru our great province these past few weeks, we wanted to give an opportunity for one lucky group of four to have a reprieve from the cleanup and other stresses.
Do you know someone that needs a small break to enjoy some of what #stampede101 has to offer? We’re looking for a group of four- a family, bunch of friends, you name it- we want to host you for a behind the scenes look at the Indian Village presented by PennWest Exploration (You’ll also receive 4 gate passes to get on park, and once you’re done with the tour there’s so much more for you to discover on your own!)
It’s easy to enter- either:
1- Leave a comment below the blog post with some background info on why you are nominating someone (or yourself) for this prize.
2- Reach out to us on Twitter by following us @CS_NGC and tagging your message with #CSAG101 with the same background info!
We’ll cap the contest entries after Monday, July 8 at 9pm so that the lucky winners have time to organize themselves to be free on Wednesday, July 10 at 5:45-7:00pm for the tour. (Again, after that the night is yours!)
Best of luck to all- we look forward to hearing from you!
Sarah.
I would like to nominate Chengis Javeri. When floods first threatened, I saw a message from Chengis asking if anyone knew where he could volunteer. He was among the first of the groups of volunteers in the Mission area. In the beginning, Chengis worked by day and had to lie with his knees in ice packs at night, but he kept returning “to the fray”. After Calgary, Chengis and his friends moved on to High River, where they are still working – and still smiling, even though they are covered with mud and living “like hobos” washing in garage sinks. If any folk deserve a break, it is this group of young volunteers, especially Chengis.
Thank you for your nomination Linda, inspiring work by Chengis.
Best of luck! And happy Stampede#101
