CALGARY Fans have been cheering on the chuckwagons at the Calgary Stampede since 1923, but for the second year in a row there will be no roar of the thunder. The Stampede announced on Thursday that the Rangeland Derby won t be part of the greatest outdoor show on earth which got the green light from Premier Kenney earlier this month. Calgary Stampede communications and media relations manager Kristina Barnes said the decision was based on the fact chuckwagons haven t raced for 21 months and there was concern for the animals.
