    So what DID I do on my summer vacation? I was overjoyed to be allowed behind the locked doors of the Calgary Stampede Sewing Room! With two costume designers and over a dozen volunteer staff, the Calgary Stampede Sewing Room builds costumes and does fittings for The Young Canadians, who for over 50 years have…
