Yesterday we were invited to attend the Medicine Hat Stampede standing in for Commander BATUS. It was an early start with being driven around Medicine Hat in an open top car for the Parade. Then lunch followed by the rodeo.
These are some pictures of us & the car we were in. The sign on the car reads BATUS COMMANDER Major Kevin Bailey & Samantha. So much to Kevins embarrassment he was promoted for the day. It was quite a bizarre experience sitting in the car & waving to everyone, we certainly will never forget it.
These are a couple of pictures of Kevin in our "casual western" dress for the day. With our new hats, shirts and cowboy boots. Everyone is dressed this way so any self consciousness soon disappears & in fact Kevins quite getting into it!
We were very much afraid that, when we heard you were going to the Stampede, we would have to suffer pictures of Kevin in a funny hat and bizarre shirt.
ReplyDeleteAnd so it has come to pass!
Seriously, we hope you both had a good time and enjoyed the temporary promotion.
You both looked great very much the part!!it must have been fun,loved the hats!
