Perfect Weather for Rodeo
In mid-August Richer again became rodeo central when the Richer Rough Stock Rodeo kicked off their seventh consecutive event. The rodeo attracted over 200 competitors and almost 6,000 weekend visitors in crowd pleasing events such as bull riding, tiedown roping, team roping, barrel racing, steer wrestling and saddle bronco. Pat Stolwyk, Rodeo Committee President said that the Richer Rough Stock Rodeo has come a long way in seven years and the secret to their success is the dedicated volunteers who step up to ensure its ongoing success and growth. “Every year we count on over 100 volunteers, some who come
from a distance, but most come from our small community and neighbouring communities. This event would not happen without the dedication and generosity of these people,� said Stolwyk.
