PHOTOS: Lots Happening in Town During Ponoka Stampede Week

The main event at the Ponoka Stampede is likely to be the afternoon rodeo performances, followed by chuckwagon racing and evening concerts. But there is plenty more to enjoy around town that week.

The third annual Tipi Village, organized by the Louis Bull Tribe with participation from members of the Ermineskin Cree Nation, Samson Cree Nation and Montana First Nation, and facilitated by the City of Ponoka, was held June 25-28.

The Calnash Ag Event Centre hosted several events including the Summer Spectacular and Canada’s Greatest Horseman competition.

West Coast Amusements drew a large crowd as always and this year there were also a number of new attractions added.

Hammy’s held its annual Canada Day barbecue on July 1.

The Ponoka Stampede said this year was their largest Wild West Tradeshow ever, with 175 exhibitors.
