It begins with a pair of very excited boys by the names of Anthony and Brad. Also known as First Friday's biggest fans.
 

It all goes down in a place called The Wildhorse Saloon... 15,000 sq feet of debauchery, at the biggest Stampede tent in downtown Calgary.

Another First Friday fan. Not the kind who wears booty shorts and makes millions at the beer tub, but the kind who met her soon-to-be husband on this particular day two years ago. Believe me. It happens.

Speaking of beer tub girls... the rumours are true. Like Miss Liz here, they are rather beautiful, and rather naked.

But don't be fooled - there's plenty of fully-dressed gorgeous girls wandering around the Wildhorse too..

And back to the booty shorts and shooter girls we go.
More of First Friday's female fans.. Returning for another year of Stampeding at the Wildhorse Saloon, it's Crystal and Treena.

With a smiling Steph B on the bar..

A perfect escape from the craziness in the tent - Wildhorse's other half: the new spot next door called Local 522

But back to the tent.

And the dancing...

And the happy people...

And a marketing genius named Darcy.

Seven days to go.. see you soon on the inside.
