The Rockyford Rodeo is soon approaching, and cowboys and cowgirls are itching to get some more rodeo action after the Calgary Stampede.
This year’s Rockyford Rodeo will feature many events all weekend long, including Chuckwagon and Chariot races starting on Friday at 6:30 p.m. After the showdown, a family dance will be held at 9:00 pm with free admission.
On Saturday morning there will be a free pancake breakfast from 7-10 pm, followed by the Grand Parade at 10:00 am.
Then it is off to the Rodeo at 12:30 pm which features steer wrestling, barrel racing, saddle bronc and bull riding.
Before the Chuckwagons at 6:30 pm on Saturday, a BBQ beef supper will be held at 5:00 pm. A cowboy ball will also be held Saturday night featuring the band TC & Company at 9:00 pm.
There will also be camping available on site.
“This year we are keeping it the same as most years. We have an AstroJump set up for the kids, and a free pancake breakfast. Most of our competitors in the rodeo are from Alberta, with a few from Saskatchewan. It is all shaping up to look very good,” says Rockyford Lions Club president Justin Gearheart.
Rockyford Rodeo will be held on Friday, July 22, Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24 at the Rockyford Stampede Grounds.
