Good weather giving the Calgary Stampede a boost

The hot and generally sunny weather has been helping the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth up its attendance numbers.

Kristina Barnes with the Calgary Stampede says it seems to be bringing more people down to the grounds this year.

“We are looking like we’re trending a little bit higher than last year, and a little bit higher than average over the last 5 years.” Barnes states, “But heading into the final weekend, we’ll wait and see.”

If the weather does take a turn, Barnes says people shouldn’t be shy to visit the grounds as there are plenty of events and activities indoors as you wait out the rain, or take a break from the heat.
