Come Hell or High Water - Stampede 101...

 ...and the show must go on. Emmett and his parents headed to Stampede Park last weekend for the annual agriculture extravaganza, deep fried food, and kiddy rides.  They managed to get to almost everything on their list, except for the deep fried butter. (And Emmett's Mom was devastated to learn that her annual beef on a bun food truck had been replaced with deep fried pickles. Tragic.)
