CANADIAN PROFESSIONAL RODEO ASSOCIATION Aug 31, 2021 l Airdrie, AB For immediate release Races Tighten for CFR Berths To say Dawson and Dillon Graham have been ‘on fire’ lately would be an understatement. And the Wainwright, Alta team roping brothers found their way to the pay window once again this past weekend with a smoking 3.8 second run at Regina’s Pile O Bones Rodeo that netted each man $2334. When added to sizeable cheques from Okotoks Pro Rodeo (1-2 split, $1731) and Drayton Valley (2nd, $1212) the total helped the ropers establish a strong lead in the Canadian standings. Several steer wrestlers also bettered their chances at a CFR berth, among them five time Canadian Steer Wrestling Champion, Cody Cassidy who won Drayton Valley and added a 6th place split at Regina for a total of $2000. Cassidy is joined by his brother Curtis and Virden, Manitoba’s Justin Miller - both of whom moved higher in the rankings as well. At the rough stock end of the arena, Eastend, Sask bareback rider Dantan Bertsch maintained his grip on the season leader position after earning the win at Okotoks on Vold Rodeo’s True Grit with an 88 point ride ($1433) and a couple of solid placings at Regina and Drayton Valley. ($2900 for the weekend) South of ‘49 Wildwood, Alta bronc rider Dawson Hay did not qualify for the National Finals Rodeo last year, ending the season 18th overall. His 2021 goal to be in the top 5 going into the NFR came closer to being a reality at Rapid City, SD where the second generation cowboy won his first PRCA Xtreme Broncs Tour title after winning the Tour Finale and $26,678. With this win, Hay moved to 4th in the World standings. For PRCA event results and World standings, www.prorodeo.com www.rodeocanada.com/results.htm for complete unofficial results. Next up on Pro Rodeo Canada's event roster are two central Alberta stops: the Daines Ranch Pro Rodeo at Innisfail Sept 2-4 and the Benalto Stampede Sept 4-6. The Canadian Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA) with headquarters in Airdrie, Alberta is the official sanctioning body for Professional Rodeo in Canada. The CPRA approves 55 events annually with a total payout exceeding $5.7 million. The organization oversees the Pro Tour Finals each fall in Armstrong, BC, holds their premiere event - the Canadian Finals Rodeo (CFR) - at Westerner Park in Red Deer, AB (early Nov) and endorses the Maple Leaf Circuit Finals in late Nov, as part of Canadian Western Agribition in Regina, SK.

Bucking Stock and Timed Event Horses
2017 Stock of the Year by Terri Mason Stock Contractor of the Year - VOLD RODEO LTD. Wayne Vold is honoured to, once again, be named the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association Stock Contractor of the Year. Vold comments, “If the contestants vote you Stock Contractor of the Year, you must be doing some- thing right.” In 2017, Vold Rodeo had stock at or produced sev- eral CPRA rodeos including Stavely, Grande Prairie, Rocky Mountain House, Wainwright, Ponoka, Morris, Strathmore, Cranbrook, Okotoks, Nansen and Wayne Vold the Grass Roots Final and the Canadian Finals Rodeo. Bull of the Year 105 JOHNNY RINGO - Vold Rodeo Co. Ltd. In a world where “bad” means “good” Johnny Ringo is one bad bull. “He came from Nate and Jackie Gardner at Arrowwood,” said Nansen Vold. “He’s six years old. He’s very tiny for a bull.” It’s certainly not his 1,250-lb size that prompted his win of Bull of the Year; it was the fact that he is a terrific challenge to the bull riders who statistically make money on his back. “He bucked at 25-30 rodeos this year,” said Vold. “At Okotoks he bucked off Brock Radford; at Stavely they were 90 points on him.” In fact, $12,500 was won by Maple Creek’s Jared Parsonage when he covered Johnny Ringo at Stavely’s 2017 Glen Keeley Memorial Bull Riding, only the second time that the bull had been ridden. The horned bull knows his business too. After he bucks them off the only thing he’s hunting is the out gate.

Media Release
June 24, 2020 | Red Deer, AB — The Canadian Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA), Westerner Park and the Red Deer & District Chamber of Commerce made the difficult yet important decision to postpone this year’s Canadian Finals Rodeo (CFR47) until 2021. With the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 related health guidelines and the cancellation of many qualifying rodeos this summer, they determined the standard of excellence and quality of experience that fans and competitors expect from the Canadian Finals Rodeo would not be achievable this year. CFR is a national championship rodeo, originally planned to run November 3 – 8th, 2020. The world-class rodeo consistently attracts the best contestants and stock in the land and over 43,000 attendees. This six-day event contributes an economic impact of approximately 37 million dollars. Albertans, Canadians and international visitors gather to watch over 100 of the world’s best rodeo athletes compete in the final event of the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association season. After careful consideration, the ultimate decision to postpone CFR47 until 2021 was made. “The health, safety and protection of our athletes, animals and guests is always our top priority,” says Jeff Robson, General Manager, CPRA. “During these uncertain times, and considering the pandemic, economic instability and reality of the extensive preparation that goes into a successful rodeo, we know it is the right decision to postpone this year’s event.” “Rodeo is built on community. CFR comes together through the financial and community support of our local businesses. A national event like this also brings a great economic benefit to our region,” says Rick More, Chief Executive Officer, Red Deer & District Chamber of Commerce.
