Giddy Up Cowgirl

Calgary (Jul.04.08)

   


It’s that time of year afgain—10 days in which Calfgary transforms into the Wild West and Calgarians shout out “Yee-haw” and “Howdy” without a second thought. For those of us who need to get saddle ready, here are a few places to start...

Giddy Up Cowgirl Face It
Time spent at the Stampede Grounds will undoubtedly leave your skin drier than a pair of leather chaps. Skoah has a solution to restore your parched skin to it’s supple glory with a Stampede Recovery facial. Custom-created for post-sun, post-hangover, post partying skin, at $70 we can afford to take advantage before and after the stomping grounds close.

Dressed for Success
While there are numerous places around Cowtown to be outfitted to the nines, the easily missed but super-convenient Stampede Store (right on park!) is the place to get line-dance ready. Pick up an authentic 2008 Calgary Stampede signature belt buckle ($20 - $150), a Wrangler shirt ($40-$70), and a designer Cowboy hat ($15-$450), and you won’t be mistaken for anything other than the authentic (and fabulous!) Cowgirl you are.

Chow Down
Get into spirit at home with Williams & Sonoma Wild West Ice Cream sandwich molds ($9.99 for the set). You can also use the boot, hat and Sheriff’s star to cut out homemade brownies and cookies (so much more authentic than our usual bag of mini-donuts).
