Chris Hadfield To Wear Custom Cowboy Boots as the Calgary Stampede Parade Marshal

“Stampede 101 – get boots to be Marshal for the parade. I love how these turned out! They have that new boot smell.”

Retired astronaut Chris Hadfield will be marching as the marshal in the Calgary Stampede Parade on July 5th in a fancy new pair of custom cowboy boots (complete with a Canadian maple leaf). Does this make him a space cowboy?
