Richer Opens Doors to Rodeo Fans!
1000’s to Descend Upon Richer
This Friday, August 5 Richer plays host and again welcomes everyone to the largest show in eastern Manitoba, the Richer Roughstock Rodeo which runs to Sunday, August 7. Action starts at 11 am on Friday and doesn’t stop until 10 pm Sunday evening as thousands again will descend on the park to take in the fun and activities. “It takes hundreds of volunteers to put a show on this size, and again we are seeing many local residents coming through and donating some time to be part of what is becoming the greatest outdoor show in Manitoba,” says Rodeo president Pat Stolwyk. “From rodeo action, evening socials and concerts, dozens of kids and family events… guests can expect one heck of a show!”
