Breaking News: Over the last day we have received word that Coronation, AB CPRA rodeo is cancelled due to poor ground and weather conditions. The Wildrose Rodeo in Mayerthorpe, AB has been postponed till July 30-31 due to the new arena not being ready. The CCA rodeo in Estevan, SK has been postponed until September due to the arena and grounds being too wet. The CCA rodeo in Batoche, SK rodeo has also been cancelled.
The rodeo for this weekend has already started for the Canadian Professional Rodeo (CPRA) card holders. Some contestants have already competed at Innisfail, AB as the slack started last night (Wednesday June 15, 2011). We’ve been told Trula Churhill was leading the barrel racing after slack with a time of 16.57 seconds. More unofficial updates from the slack we’ve received is that Luke Branquino was a 4.5 in the steer wrestling and Jake Hannum was a 6.8 in the tie-down roping. By the looks of the forecast for Innisfail, the rodeo is holding true to it’s tradition of being wet and rainy! Innisfail will continue on until June 19th. Results from this rodeo will be posted next week here.
The Canadian Cowboys Association (CCA) also has two rodeos taking place this weekend. Contestants will be heading to Pilot Butte and Radville, SK. Let’s hope it’s not too wet for them!
Contestants with a CRA (Chinook Rodeo Association) card only have one rodeo to attend this weekend which is in Foremost, AB.
The Wil
drose and Lakeland Rodeo Associations have a dual approved rodeo in Gooseberry Lake, AB starting June 17th to the 19th. The Lakeland Rodeo Association also has a Finals Tour rodeo taking place in Killam and another rodeo in Cold Lake, AB this weekend.
As usual there are lots of barrel racing and roping jackpots throughout Canada as well.
