These visitors to the Midway at the Calgary Stampede Grounds were much braver than me! This is one very, very tall pole, though my photo doesn't give that impression : ) I wonder if there is any warning before the ring of seats drops at top speed down to the ground. Makes me feel queasy just thinking about it! My youngest daughter and I were lucky that the sun was shining when we spent just a short time down at the Grounds, on 11 July 2013. You'd never think that two weeks before, the whole Grounds were under water, thanks to the Flood of the Century. People worked so hard to try and get everywhere pumped dry and cleaned up ready for the "Greatest Show on Earth". Certain events did have to be cancelled, but there was still plenty going on for people to have a great time.
