A rookie’s guide to Welcome to Agribition! Agribition is a hot spot of world-class entertainment, shopping, food and family fun, and a place for urban and rural families to come together to celebrate agriculture. As the show grows and evolves, Agribition adds new programs, events and activities every year. Whether this is your first year or tenth year attending the show, this guide will help you experience the cultural, social and economic hub that is Agribition!

There is so much going on at Agribition that the show can be a completely different experience from one person to the next. At the heart of it all is one very important tip: Have fun!

Footwear: Don’t have cowboy boots?

Don’t worry — they are not mandatory for Agribition. Wear shoes that you find comfortable walking in and that you don’t mind getting a little dirty! But don’t worry, if you want to wear your fancy shoes, you can

get around most of Agribition without a speck of dirt! If you want to purchase your first pair of cowboy boots, take a trip to Cowtown – they’ll help you find the perfect boots.

Clothing: November can be cold, and walking between buildings can be chilly. It is recommended that you wear warm and comfortable clothing during your Agribition visit, and dress in layers.

Parking: Parking on the grounds is free with gate admission and when those lots fill up, there is overflow parking nearby. If you don’t want to park on the grounds, take the Agribition Express. This bus service is $3 and includes free gate admission. Read more on page 23.

If attending day-time events, arrive around 9 a.m. to beat the rush.

Heading to Agribition with your friends or looking for a place to party in November?

Agribition has some exciting events and party spots you must check out!

A great way to start off your night is by attending the Canadian Cowboys’ Association Finals Rodeo at 7 p.m.

Tuesday to Saturday. Grab a Budweiser and watch saddle bronc, steer wrestling, bull riding and more! Finish the night off with some more fun at the Bud Light Loading Chute or The Swamp. If your night ends after the rodeo, you can still catch a ride on the Agribition Express back to Southland or Northgate Mall.

The Bud Light Loading Chute makes a great hangout any day of the week and can be described as the “mullet” of entertainment. During the day, it’s business in the front – a place to sit down, share a bite to eat, and listen to some great music and entertainment at the Pump Roadhouse Stage. And in the evening, it’s a party in the back – live music, Bud Light, a mechanical bull and people having a great time, making it one of the biggest party zones in November.

Make sure you get there right after the rodeo; it fills up fast!

Looking for a more unique party experience? You have to experience The Swamp.

You can travel all over the world, and never find a place as unique and as legendary as The Swamp. This place, with its original brick finish and its hole-in-the-wall atmosphere, is a flash from the past. The timeless decoration of metal chairs, tiny round tables and the smell of Bud Light has been an attraction for Agribition show goers for more than 40 years.

City or country, it’s worth a look into this Agribition original, especially because it may be the last year to experience it! This leads to the next party event.

On Saturday night, a Farewell to The Swamp Cabaret will be held. Due to infrastructure improvements in the near

future, the Stadium and Swamp will be made into new venues. After Saturday’s rodeo, head over to the Chevrolet GMC Stadium for a goodbye party to the legendary Exhibition Stadium and The Swamp and enjoy entertainment by Julian Austin.

Agribition is a social place. Take advantage of three distinct party environments — three locations, three crowds, three types of fun — open all day. Visit the Bud Light Loading Chute, The Swamp, and the Watering Hole.

Rodeo 101

Originating out of ranching skills, rodeo events have evolved into the toughest sport on dirt enjoyed by both our rural and urban friends.

Come 30 minutes early and check out some of the exhibits on the concourse. Arrive at the rodeo about 15 minutes early to find your spot before the entertainment begins.

The rodeo kicks off with a grand entry – this is a 10-minute program to introduce the competitors and sing the anthem with a little wow factor mixed in.

The Canadian Cowboys’ Association Finals Rodeo consists of seven events.

Contestants compete all year long and come from across Canada, but only the best competitors will be in Regina. The seven events are split into two categories: roughstock events and timed events.

Roughstock events Roughstock events include bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, and bull riding.

These events tend to be filled with more action, suspense, and danger and are all about scoring. The scoring ranges from 0 to 100, with 100 being a perfect ride. A great score is 85 points. Competitors must ride for eight seconds, with no extra points awarded for riding longer than eight seconds and those who don’t reach eight seconds are given a score of zero.

Fifty per cent of the score comes from the animal and 50 per cent comes from the cowboy. Cowboys are judged on their form and style while riding. Maintaining control is critical to a high score. The

Team roping, steer wrestling and tie-down roping all have something in common: competitors race against the clock. Like barrel racing, the fastest time wins. Penalties play a huge part in the timed events. Cowboys receive a 10-second penalty if they take an early head start.

The 10-second penalty is akin to getting a speeding ticket – those penalized stand little or no chance of winning.

Rodeo Event Sponsors: • TransCanada – Bareback Riding • Spectra Energy – Saddle Bronc Riding • Fountain Tire – Steer Wrestling • Queen City Plumbing and Heating – Ladies Barrel Racing and Junior Barrel Racing • B & W Trailer Hitches – Team Roping

What to wear? Rodeo is not just for cowboys. Agribition rodeo fans range from young to old, city to country. If you like action, you’ll like rodeo. Hats and boots are optional.

animal is scored on how difficult they are to ride; the higher they buck and the more they kick, the better the score.

Timed events Timed events include ladies barrel racing, team roping, steer wrestling, and tie-down roping. These events tend to be more about precision and speed.

Timed events are where you’ll find the ladies of rodeo. Ladies barrel racing is a horse-and-rider race where competitors must circle three barrels set in a cloverleaf pattern, and the fastest time wins.

Ladies receive a five-second penalty for each barrel they knock over. Seldom can they win an event with this five-second penalty.

Note: It’s common for announcers to provide more details on the rules and technicalities of each event.

If you’re interested in meeting some cowboys or cowgirls face to face, leave the rodeo at the midpoint of the bull riding and head to the Bud Light Loading Chute in the Ag-Ex for live entertainment each night.

Learning is

fun at Agribition!

Education has been a cornerstone at Agribition for 30 years. As the gap widens on consumers understanding of modern agriculture, Agribition plays an important role helping the industry tell their story.

Agribition offers an extensive Education program, including the Family Ag Pavilion, milking demonstrations, and the thinkAG Career and Education Expo as a means to educate others on agricultural practices and the food they eat.

The Education Program has taught thousands of school children the importance agriculture plays in the food industry. Displays and activities are located in the Family Ag Pavilion in the Co-operators Centre. While the program is targeted at children from kindergarten to Grade 6, everyone is welcome to stop by and learn more about today’s agriculture.

Ledcor and the Government of Saskatchewan have graciously provided funding for the Education Program. Their support is appreciated, as it ensures every young person in the province who wants to learn about the industry has the opportunity to do so.

Family Ag Pavilion The Family Ag Pavilion, sponsored by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, is located in Arena 2 in the Co-operators Centre. The Pavilion offers a variety of interactive displays and activities encompassing many aspects of the agriculture industry.

“The Pavilion is for everyone,” says Carla Schmitt, Education Team Leader and Agribition Board Member. “No matter what age or background you have, this is the place to gain insight into the agriculture sector.

As organizers, we want to continually offer a hands-on learning experience that people will remember. The Pavilion instills an expanded view of agriculture through fun and exciting activities for the whole family,” says Schmitt.

The Pavilion is anchored by the Agrium Seed Survivor display. There are eight interactive stations featuring multimedia and virtual reality games, all designed to teach youth about agriculture. Children

Other highlights include the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. Put on a surgical mask and dive into the role of a modern veterinarian. Kids love this interactive medical display focused on animal health with an engaging atmosphere. Round out your visit to the Family Ag Pavilion to see your favourite animals including a beef animal, sheep, chickens, turkeys, honey bees and more!

The Family Ag Pavilion is open Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Milking demonstration A family trip to Agribition isn’t complete without seeing a milking demonstration.

Located in Barn 4 and presented by SaskMilk, the demonstration gives visitors a firsthand view of where milk comes from, and allows them to meet some of the great people who are a part of the dairy industry. Check daily schedules for milking times.

Career and Education Expo Another integral part of the Education Program at Agribition is the thinkAG Career and Education Expo.

On Nov. 24 to 26, 2015, students in Grades 9 through 12 will explore the endless career and entrepreneurial opportunities in agriculture at the Expo.

It will feature six half-day workshops and ten interactive career exploration stations where students will learn about modern food production and discover the diversity of agriculturerelated post-secondary options. For more information, please contact thinkag@gov.sk.ca.
