Sizzlin’ Rodeo in Lamont

Sizzlin’ Rodeo in Lamont

Tammy Hewitt - News Advertiser

On the sunny weekend of July 12, 13, Lamont and District Agricultural Society held their 30th Summer Sizzler Rodeo. Starting Saturday with a parade and pancake breakfast, the kids got the event under way with their Kids Fun Rodeo featuring a stick horse race, relay races & mutton busting.

After lunch, the main rodeo event continued the action including trick riders Kitt Leskow & Rhye Miller.  A steak dinner was offered local artist entertainment but just when you thought the day was done, a special smash up derby event topped off the day, the Combine Crunch. Sunday afternoon, the final rodeo performances were completed and the Combine Crunch finals crushed it with a bang. The winner of the Grudge match was Quinton Wilchack, Combine Crunch winners were Michael Mastin and Owen Glover in second place.

Spectator Meggie Hughes-Miller from Vegreville said, “They had a good steak supper between the rodeo and the combine crunch. The combine crunch was so cool! We are definitely going again next year!”

Throughout the weekend, kids had fun at the Richardson Pioneer Kids Zone with bouncy houses, face painting, pony Rides, a money pit and bird House building with the Lamont Fish and Game Association from 11am-5pm.
