This weekend, we will welcome more than 50 young competitors to Stampede Park for 4-H Rodeo! A showcase of youth talent, participants will have the opportunity to develop their skills and build confidence through a series of clinics led by industry experts and pro rodeo athletes, with a competition portion that will allow them to put their newly refined techniques into action. 4-H Rodeo is one of many ways youth can connect with agriculture and build lifelong skills on Stampede Park. We’re proud to host opportunities that support the next generation and their success - and can't wait to see what they accomplish this weekend! @CS_Rodeo @stampedeag

GIVING BACK – Sarah has been a Stampede volunteer since 2023 and is a familiar member of the Stampede family as the 2023 Calgary Stampede Princess. “My reign as the 2023 Stampede Princess provided experiences and opportunities that helped me grow in ways I never could have imagined. Since then, I've gained an incredible new community within the Queens’ Alumni Committee. I hope to keep giving back by sharing Western hospitality and spirit through my volunteerism. The Queens’ Alumni Committee does an amazing job creating accessible and accommodating events that capture the Stampede Spirit through our Giddy Up programs, and it's an honour to be involved.” Thank you, Sarah, and all of our Calgary Stampede volunteers for the impact you have had on our community! This International Year of the Volunteer, we celebrate you.
