diary writing on stampede
Answers
Answer:
Jennifer George, teacher
"I am the Calgary Stampede and this is my story. Lots of people come to me in July because I am the Stampede. I live in downtown Calgary. I stand beautiful against the sunset. I have been here since 1912 which means I am 94 years old. Guy Weadick built me so that I could teach you about history. He convinced the Government in Ottawa to let the First Nations bring their teepees and ceremonies to the Stampede. He also told them they could do their dancing at the Stampede. In those days Tom Three Persons came to the Stampede too. He watched 129 people fall off Cyclone the bucking bronco. Tom Three Persons won at the Stampede that year because he did not fall off Cyclone.
I have a Teepee Village inside my gates. People there roast bannock. I see the Natives doing the grass dance. They dance happily inside my gates. The teepees stand tall and proud on me. It feels good. I love being the Stampede."
