BCN coverage from Calgary Stampede

Join Jeannette Rocher, Michael Klassen and Naveen Day as they host the Bridge City News Weekend Edition newscast on location from the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, all while checking out the sights and sounds, (sampled some eats, talked to a rodeo cowboy, rode the Superwheel and took in one of the largest powwows in western Canada).  As restrictions came to an end, July 2022 saw a full scale Calgary Stampede back in action for the first time in three years.
