Well fellow Canadians, we made it through 148 years and we will make it for even longer. This I know. You know it's funny. This country and I are the same age so I will never forget how old I am. This is the luck of being a fairy. Today, there are alot of things going on here in Calgary. I will take you through what I did on this extraordinarily wonderful day.
My first trip is to Olympic Plaza. There, I am greeted with a free BBQ (all meat unfortunately for me), a huge stage with some country music singers singing Canadian songs and photo booths aplenty. It is entertaining but I could not help but walk down Stephan Avenue. There I found an outdoor market where, they had a little bit of everything including some sweet little fairy brooches. Yes, I bought them. I couldn't resist. It's nice to have a small reminder of my wings. I loved the street performers. There was a woman who played rock and roll on a violin, some young break-dancing gentlemen who had some amazing moves and some jazz dancers who gave out alot of enthusiasm for what they did.
After such a fun experience, I decided that I needed something to eat. Knowing that there were going to be food trucks at Prince Island Park, I headed towards Eau Claire Market. I walked inside the oh-so-nicely air conditioned market and saw a crowd gathered around a juggler. He was impressive too and the kids loved him. It's amazing the skills that these jugglers have, isn't it? Anyway, I go back outside and do some more exploring. I search for the right food truck to satisfy my need for food. I finally find it across the bridge. I get this giant pineapple with a pineapple smoothie inside. Confused? Don't worry it's easily explained by the picture. I also get a wood-fired vegetarian pizza which I take over to a stage and watch our Native Canadians preform a dance which symbolizes friendship.
With all this under my belt I decided to go get an ice cream and call it quits. I wanted to get some energy in for the firework show (which I can watch from my building). And it is stellar! Unfortunately all the pictures I got of them were terrible so I can't share it with you my lovely audience. I can assure you, however that they are spectacular and a show like that shouldn't be missed.
Oh yes, this is what I did but for all of you who want to check it out again next year, here is what I suggest. Go to Fort Calgary, get a free breakfast and visit the petting zoo. These animals are precious. Also go to the East Village around 7:00 PM and see the performance show. I hear it's excellent. I wanted to go but I'm a fairy not an alien. I can't be in two places at once. So everyone. I hope you enjoyed our nation's birthday. I sure did. How did the rest of you celebrate our or your nation's holiday?
