SENT ON BEHALF OF THE CALGARY POLICE RODEO ASSOCIATION

For the 27th year, law enforcement cowboys and cowgirls will

muster this Saturday, Aug. 22, 2009, for the Calgary Police
Rodeo.

Dozens of officers from across North America will compete in

numerous events; all looking to rope in a trophy and win
bragging rights. This event is open to the public and
families are welcome.

In support of the Missing Children’s Society of Canada, all
proceeds from the rodeo will go toward the agency’s search
program, Project: Reunite. In 2008, more than $8,000 was
raised during the rodeo.

Along with the rodeo, the event includes a children’s
carnival, petting zoo, exhibitions, clowns and concessions.
An adults-only barn dance featuring Nashville Recording
Artist Gord Bamford is scheduled for later in the evening.

A one-of-a-kind event, The Calgary Police Rodeo is an amateur
competition featuring contestants from Alberta, British
Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, as well as American
officers from Idaho and Nevada.

The rodeo starts at 1 p.m., at the Airdrie Professional Rodeo
Grounds, located on Highway 567, five kilometres west of
Airdrie. Tickets for the rodeo cost $15, with kids 10 and
under free.
