THE CALGARY STAMPEDE FROM CALGARY, CANADA!!

   The Calgary Stampede  is an annual rodeo, exhibition and festival held every July in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The ten-day event, which bills itself as  The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth , attracts over one million visitors per year and features the world's largest rodeo, a parade, midway, stage shows, concerts, agricultural competitions, chuckwagon racing and  First Nations exhibitions .

No Acting Skills Needed    Porn and horror movie producers seem to pride themselves on their baffling horrible acting standards.
