Ponoka Stampede officially postponed

Apr 29, 2020 | 1:56 PM

Officials with the Ponoka Stampede have announced that the 84^th edition of the rodeo scheduled for June 25 to July 1, 2020 has been postponed.

The decision is a result of the ban by provincial health authorities on mass gatherings in Alberta through the end of summer.

The rodeo is scheduled to return June 28 – July 4, 2021.

“We the Ponoka Stampede Association understand and respect the restrictions placed on gatherings,” President Bruce Harbin said in a Facebook post on Wednesday. “The first word in ‘Ponoka Stampede’ is Ponoka, and to us that’s always what comes first, our community, our volunteers, our fans, our sponsors, our contractors and our contestants; the entire Ponoka Stampede Family.

“We hope you all remain safe and healthy in these unprecedented times,” Harbin added.
