August 16th - 19th, 2012
The Virden Indoor
Rodeo has been voted "Rodeo of the Year" by the cowboys and cowgirls, nine
times over the last two decades.
Virden Indoor
Rodeo & Wild West Daze celebrated it's 20th anniversary with the 2008
event.
There's no
two way about it, cowboys, cowgirls and the fans all come to Virden in
August for one thing - great rodeo action.
The 2012 Wild West
Daze Activities in Virden are held from Thursday, August 16th to Sunday,
August 19, 2012. Be prepared to spend the whole weekend so you don't
miss out on any of the action.
The event is
dual sanctioned by the Canadian Cowboys Association and the Manitoba Rodeo
Cowboys Association. It attracts entrants from Canada, United
States, Australia, and New Zealand.
It's known as
a make it or break it event for cowboys wanting to earn points to take
part in the MRCA and CCA finals.
On Saturday,
the high school students take over the arena for the High School Rodeo.
Contestants come from all over Manitoba to take part in the same events as
the main rodeo. Come out and see this event, it is becoming very
popular. The young contestants put on a great show.
Young rodeo stars, destined to be champions on the regular circuit compete
in ten events for the title of high point cowboy and high point cowgirl.
Saturday
morning the rodeo participants have been knows to show up at the pancake
breakfast on horseback. The Rodeo parade starts at the Virden
Collegiate and is always a good time with lots of local floats, many of
the demolition derby cars on display and don't forget, all kinds of
horses.
Saturday
night, be prepared for a great time at the Daze Dance. All the
cowboys, cowgirls and the fans get a chance to kick up their heels.
Not all of
the attractions happening this weekend take place in the arena, we are
pleased to present the following venues as part of our weekend festival,
Chamber of Commerce Downtown Rodeo Daze Events on Thursday, Manitoba Pennwoods Draft Horse Futurity and of course
