Nowadays, there seems to be a fair share of Stampede breakfasts that are 'private' or 'invitation only' but we were invited to a really good one with Lundgren and Young, and Southland Registries, that was also free to the public, so that was also refreshing. Lots of people there, and quite a few from the wide world of insurance, including representatives of many brokerages and insurers, the IBAA and other insurance related organizations. Many competitors in the field, but also good people who are interested in providing a solid platform of insurance in Alberta.
We also had a great opportunity to talk to special guest
Kurt Bensmiller, leader in the Stampede Chuckwagon aggregate at the time. Kurt is a great guy, and stopped by with his chuckwagon to say hello and sign posters he was giving away. We talked a lot about his horses and their competitive nature and desire to race.
