ROUND-UP 2012
Summer Exhibition opens Thursday, July 12, 2012
In the spirit of the 100th anniversary of the Stampede and Calgary’s designation as one of Canada’s 2012 Cultural Capitals, TrépanierBaer is organizing a little round-up. Not the traditional kind though, we’re not counting and inspecting cattle for eventual sale, not at all. We’re roundin’-up and corralling outstanding works of art for inspection, evaluation, and sale to anyone who has common sense, an eye for quality, and a stomach for Alberta whiskey. There’ll be plenty to look at and to choose from. We suspect there’ll be a deal or two to be made over a glass of whiskey, it is Stampede after all, and what’s a round-up without a deal or two?
When we’re not roundin’- up will be hanging about cowpokin’ at the corral at 999 – 8th Street, morning until night, and having a little fun with anyone who happens to be around. It all starts Thursday, July 12th around midday. We think it’s such a heck of a thing we’re going to run it through the entire summer until it’s all gone.
Hope you can come by, stop in and visit – you never know what you might go home with!
