...Club a leather belt with solid gold buckle, and elkskin riding boots. The Calgary Exhibition and Stampede tossed in a Hudson's Bay blanket coat, a pair of Point blankets, a white felt hat and a pair of white whipcord riding breeches. Barbara Ann dressed up in her cowgirl clothes (see cut), posed happily for Calgarians.
