Wild Pony Racing, Mutton Bustin' and Running with the Rams registration opening

You're favourite rodeo events for the kids will be making their return to the Strathmore Stampede.  This month, registration will be open for Mutton Bustin', Wild Pony Racing, and Running with the Rams. 

Events Coordinator with the Strathmore Ag Society Kate Dubois is excited to see these events come back again this year.

"It's just so fun to watch the little ones participate in this, they get to be in front of a large crowd with people cheering them on from everywhere. It’s very unique for these children to get to be involved in this, to start enjoying rodeo and partaking in these types of events as they get older."

Mutton Bustin' registration opens April 13 and the event is for kids four to six years old at the time of the event.
