Holy smokes, Stranger Things fans, the Calgary Stampede is about to blow your minds. To coincide with Season 3 of Stranger Things coming out today, the Stampede released big news. What is it, you ask? Well, a portion of the Stampede Midway has been transformed into Hawkins, Indiana.
Turns out, Netflix has partnered up with North American Midway Entertainment to recreate the Hawkins Fun Fair right here.

Considering the Fun Fair is supposed to be a major plot point of season 3, this is a great way for Calgarians to get into a strange mood. After all, a creepy TV show plus the greatest outdoor show on earth sounds like one hell of a good time.
There will be a Stranger Things Funhouse, a Stranger Things Slide, and much more. Apparently, the best transformation came with the Spider ride, which has become, you guessed it, that weird beast from the show.
Obviously, we were already gearing up to have a ball on the midway, but now, we might just try and live there.
