Festival Western de Saint-Tite ---- an explosion of adrenalin!!!

Indians believe in planning at the ninth hour. We being none others , displayed a perfect exhibit of the quality as we were discussing plans for the weekend on teh Friday evening. Once the plan was made, the decision on renting a car being in the doldrums ensured a whole Saturday sitting at home. Finally we rented a car and downloaded the maps to head for the western festival of St Tite, as recommended by a colleague. A perfect day and a perfect trip.

The mercury fell a bit as we drove towards our destination, me playing the role of a navigator. With the onset of fall the drive was beautiful with trees begining to change their colours.



4,000 humans inhabitat the city of Saint Tite and the festival ensures atleast 500,000 humans flocking the town. Saint Tite, the "leathertown of Quebec" specialises in transformation of leather and manufactures products of leather. The leather industry is the basis of the Western Festival. G.A Boulet Inc . specialists in western boots, organised a Rodeo day as a 'publicity' strategy. This was in 1967 , and since then the festival has only gained mass and popularity.

"Boulet Boots" - cowboy boots

The town of Saint Tite is full of festivities with live music, mouth watering food stalls and flee market.

As a part of the festival, the locals of Saint Titte participate in a rally along the streets of the town in taditional "cowboy/western culture". A colourful rally marked by beautiful people .
