CAMROSE SPRING CLASSIC RUNS MARCH 14-16, 2008
March 11 , 2008 |
CALGARY, ALTA. - The CPRA’s 2008 rodeo season will be kicking off this weekend in Camrose, Alta.
Performances will be held all three days, beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday. Saturday’s performance is also at
7 p.m., while Sunday is at 2 p.m. Slack runs at 9 a.m. on Friday morning.
CPRA staff say close to 300 contestants are ready to go for the six major events and team roping. Camrose rodeo has also added boys steer riding, since it is once again included in the CFR. Total projected payout is $33,000. Winners will recieve approximately $1,000 for riding events, $1,150 for timed events and $1,400 for barrels.
“We are happy with what we got (competitors) this year,” said Marilyn Lee, the Camrose committee
organizer.
Team roping champions Justin and Brett McCarroll are back, kicking off their CPRA year on Sunday
afternoon defending their Canadian title and trying for a third straight season opener win at home.
Last year’s novice bareback champion Jake Vold (Ponoka, Alta.), and runner-up Luke Creasy
(Brownfield, Alta.) are ready for action this year challenging fellow competitors like Kyle Bowers,
(Brooks, Alta.) and Reid Rowan (Seven Persons, Alta.) in bareback riding.
Also keep your eye open over the weekend for last year’s steer wrestling runner-ups, Baillie and Tanner
Milan (Cochrane, Alta. ) and ladies barrel racer Maria Gee (Stanford, MT) who are ready to start the
Canadian Pro rodeo season off with wins.
“We’re looking to have another good season with a couple new rodeos, some added events and money earned counting towards the final standings,” said Rodeo Administrator, Jim Pippolo. “It should make for a very, very interesting season.”
Hoping to bring a top notch pro rodeo sporting event to Camrose, Lee explained that a few changes have gone into this years rodeo including a purse increase, a new contractor, and the fact that the rodeo is now
dual-approved.
“Anytime a contestant can win money in Canada for world standings is a good thing,” said Pippolo.
Excited about the start of the season and the revamping towards the finals,
Pippolo thinks everyone will push hard through the whole season rather than
slowing down after July.
“It will put some more meaning into the smaller rodeos,” Pippolo said.
Remember to wear pink on March 15 as Camrose is also taking part in the Tough Enough To Wear Pink campaign.
