"Our concerts are toward the end of this year's Stampede," said Cowley. "So we couldn't be more pleased with the turnout and the support, and the enthusiasm." Stampede CEO Joel Cowley is encouraging all attendees to head indoors if they feel any signs of heat stress. Rodeo animals have access to water immediately after they're finished competing, said director of agriculture and western events Kristina Barnes.
Calgary resident Ben Waddington, who went to the grounds on Sunday with his wife and two kids, said it was difficult to access free drinking water and ended up using water from a bathroom sink.
