If you love the Western feel of the Calgary Stampede, and are counting the days until it starts on July 8th, why not start early! Get that hat out, dust those boots off and come break those boots back in at the 75th Annual Ponoka Stampede. Start this morning off with a mile long parade, and an outdoor market, then its off to an afternoon of Rodeo Action with the Professional Cowboys who are warming up for the Calgary Stampede, thats not all the World Professional Chuckwagon Association will spin their wheels tonight for some great racing. Wait . . . were not done yet, live bands play in the Stagecoach Saloon every evening for those over 18, those legs might need a two step lesson or reminder. The Rodeo runs every afternoon, and the Chuckwagons every evening, Thursday night join us to watch Dwight Yoakham perform live on stage where you can dance right in the infield! Friday and Saturday night dance to live bands at one of the largest beer gardens in Alberta - and Sunday wrap it all up with not only an afternoon of Rodeo Finals, but a Stampede Cash Showdown of all the top events.

After you experience the Ponoka Stampede, you will be hooked, only 5 more days until the live packed action of the Calgary Stampede Starts on July 8! Don't forget to fit the Agricultural Barns visit in, those exhibitors are there for you to learn more about Agricultural in our beautiful province. Hope to see you at both events!
Did you know that Rodeo Action was started by our Agricultural forefathers as a way of entertainment and to show off their riding skills! Agriculture is everywhere and has been around for a long long time.
Well I am off to decorate a float and then to the grounds to help host the Ponoka Stampede! Come on down, we'd love to show you a great time!
