Saturday morning of the Canadian Rodeo Tour Championship - Fall of each year
Since 1987, 65 children/youth participate in an interactive rodeo. Each special needs participant is paired up with a cowboy/girl and spends the morning exploring the various rodeo events such as horse back riding, roping, barrel racing on stick horses, riding miniature chuck wagons, petting sheep, riding a hand rocked bull and eating a pancake breakfast.
