CASH AND CONVICTION: THE BIG FOUR AND THE FIRST CALGARY STAMPEDE
THURSDAY, JUNE 28

Quick - name the Big Four! The first three were well known in Calgary; the fourth ranched near Fort Macleod. George Lane, A.E. Cross, Patrick Burns and A.J. Archie McLean were the four successful ranchers and businessmen who guaranteed $25,000 each so Guy Weadick could produce the first Stampede in 1912. Get a glimpse into their lives and their legacy with Senior Curator of Cultural History Lorain Lounsberry as she goes behind the scenes in Glenbow's cultural history collections.

CALGARY 1912
THURSDAY, JULY 12

The city of Calgary is well-known for its cycles of "boom and bust" - the exciting times when the city flourishes and its citizens are giddy with optimism about the future, only to be followed by the dark days of the inevitable "correction" as the economy contracts, affecting governments and individuals alike. Join archivists from Glenbow's Library and Archives as we look back at Calgary in 1912, the year of the city's first boom, through photographs, maps, archival documents and
publications.
