A sure sign of summer, that's how the start of Saskatchewan's rodeo season in Pilot Butte could be described.
A sure sign of summer, that’s how the start of Saskatchewan’s rodeo season in Pilot Butte could be described.
Running from June 16 to 18, organizers say the annual Pilot Butte Rodeo couldn’t have gone much better.
“Our grandstands were full, behind the grandstands, in the concession, in the kid’s play area, it was always 300 to 400 people,” Rob Fouhse, a committee member, told CTV News.
“It was an outstanding turnout.”
From bull riding, to a petting zoo, to a performance from Gord Bamford, all the essentials were covered for the weekend long event.
However, the event that seemed to draw the most attention was the chariot races.
The sport can be traced all the way back to ancient Rome, but has deep roots in the province, according to committee member George Galloway.
