WEEKLY RODEO SERIES AND WILD WEST SHOW AT THE WILD WILD WEST EVENT CENTRE
June 6th - August 22nd (excluding July 18th), 2008
The Wild Wild West Event Centre is proud to present Canada's FIRST EVER weekly rodeo series and Wild West show starting in June 2008.  A grand entrance and introduction opens the rodeo followed by bronc riding, barrel racing and Wild West Riders and the ever popular bull riding. 

After the rodeo, guests are led to the Dance Hall where live music will be playing and guests will be greeted by Dance Hall Girls offering a big Western welcome. Following a delicious meal of your choosing (call for menu options), it's time for a cultural treat as Native dancers in full regalia take centre stage.

During the short intermission, your guests can stretch their legs, toss some horseshoes, and take advantage of some photo opportunities with cowboys, Natives, horses, mountain backdrops, and a stationary Buckin' Bronc! Next, the saloon girls call everyone to the Dance Hall where a line dance instructor leads everyone in this popular western dance.

Watch out! Out of nowhere come the evil Fourlorne Cattle Co. Cowboys looking for trouble! Hopefully the sheriff can save the day. When the smoke clears, its time to kick up your heels to live country music until you are ready to leave.

The program will run every Friday evening between the above mentioned dates, with a Final Rodeo & Bluegrass Music Festival on September 20th, 2008.
