Premier Alison Redford hosts her first Stampede breakfast Monday.
As many as 4,000 people are expected to take in the event at the McDougall Centre downtown.
One attendee says Redford has done a good job so far, and she wants to tell her so.
“I think she’s done a great job so far,” she says. “It’s a little early to tell, but so far, so good.”
It’s not just Redford getting in on the Stampede; for many politicians, Stampede is a must-attend event, especially in its 100th year.
Over the weekend, 44 Tory MPs and four senators took in a Stampede BBQ hosted by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Liberal MP Justin Trudeau and NDP leader Thomas Mulcair are also taking in the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.
