MEETUP PLAN: Welcome to all Calgary and surrounding Area Postcrossers and to all visitors to Calgary during the annual ten day event, which bills itself as “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth”. Over one million visitors every year come to enjoy one of the world’s largest rodeos, a parade, midway, stage shows, concerts, agriculture competitions, chuckwagon races, and First nations exhibitions, and for the very first time, a POSTCROSSING MEETUP!
Our event will held on the last day of the Stampede, Sunday, July 14, and we will have special Meetup cards available to sign, share and treasure.
More information to follow as the event gets closer, so mark your calendars and we hope to see you there!
I will be in the area on the 14th. Is this meet up still planned?
Yes it is ! Looking forward to seeing you!
Hello Ellen, sounds like a fantastic event, would be fun to attend! Feel free to send any more info if needed.
We are two Postcrossers, recently moved from Calgary from St. John’s in Newfoundland, and starting our journey here.
Thank you for organizing this meetup

HI! How did your Postcrossing MeetUp go?
Hello, we had a wonderful little meetup today!
We had eight Postcrossers and joining us was a lady from the US, two new Postcrossers and another lady new to our group. We signed so many postcards that will be heading to mailboxes across Canada, the US and all over the world.
We also started to make plans for this year’s AND next year’s WPD, so watch this forum for more details.
The next Calgary Postcrossing WPD Meetup will be Sunday September 29, 2024!
Good morning! It was so great to meet you both, and hope to see you in the fall for WPD!
Great to have met you, thanks for joining us!
I had so much fun! You have a great group of postcrossers!! Who knows… maybe our paths will cross again!!
Hello! Does anyone have a card from this meetup they would like to swap? I have some left over from the meetup in Rivière-du-loup this past June. Would love to receive and send more Postcrossing meetup cards across Canada!
Hello hopeem!
I can send you one of our Stampede meetup postcards. Please pm your address to me, I have those postcards already and would be open to a different trade, if you don’t mind.
Hellooooo @Herchelle
I received your oh! so much fun postcard in the mail! Thank you for it
The picture is INCREDIBLE. I have the same exact pair of COWBOY BOOTS, can you believe it? I was THRILLED when I noticed that.
Everyone’s signatures were interesting to look at.
I appreciate your kindness. Much appreciated!!
You might enjoy the movie TWISTER. There is a stampede in it. And .
