âThe Calgary Stampede is a huge event,â said float ambassador Clarence Johnson, who is in his 13th year in the volunteer position. âWeâre happy to show off Âé¶čAV to such a big crowd.â
The group is well travelled, with Johnson claiming they travel up to 10,000 kilometres a year to broadcast Âé¶čAV anywhere they can.
âWe travel all over the place for parades,â said Johnson. âWe do B.C. as well as the Pacific Northwest all the way down to Washington and Oregon.â
The float, donning a representation of the mythical sea monster Ogopogo, has been around in various iterations for over 50 years.
