               Two days of extreme excitement and action will be found with a parade beginning on the Saturday at 11 a.m.
               The event dates back to 1934 with Rev. Bill Gourlay organizing a family outing on "Shackleton Flats." Ever since the 1st annual rodeo was held the community has embraced the event.     Â
               A dual sanctioned event the rodeo which is part of the Professional Canadian Rodeo Association (PCRA) and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) will be hosted for points in both.

               The annual event will see action begin on Saturday at 5 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. While the annual demolition derby and children’s activities will be enjoyed throughout both days as well, while a cowboy church service is hosted Sunday morning.
               There will also be a dance held on Saturday at 8 p.m. at the rodeo grounds.
               Last year the event saw perfect weather and an abundance of attendees all made possible by the dedicated local rodeo committee and numerous volunteers.
