Killam Rodeo and Blacktop Bonanza to be delayed until 2022 Leslie Cholowsky Editor
The Killam Agricultural Society has made a difficult decision, and has decided to delay their annual indoor rodeo for another year. Normally this event would go ahead on the coming weekend, but organizers say, “Unfortunately, due to the COVID19 regulations that remain in place, the Killam Indoor Rodeo will be postponed until June of 2022. “We will be celebrating our 50th Anniversary and are looking forward to seeing our friends, families, and many visitors back once again!” Earlier in the month, the Killam Chamber of Commerce decided to also delay bringing back the traditional rodeo Blacktop Bonanza event.
They have decided to do a Canada Day scavenger type flag hunt instead. The Canada Day Flag Hunt will take place in Killam on July 1 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Six special Canadian flags will be displayed at various locations in the town. Once participants find one flag, they will receive clues on where to find the rest. Participants need to take a selfie with each of the six flags, then post them to the Killam and District Chamber of Commerce Facebook page to be eligible for a draw for $154 Killam Kash, as well as a Canada Flag windsock. The flags that normally fly throughout the town, at the RCMP, School, Town, and Legion hall, are not considered to be part of the Canada Day Flag Hunt.

Central Grad in June Ally Anderson Killam News
Howdy my fellow Killamites! It’s exciting to hear CHSPS grads are breaking with tradition and having a ceremony next Friday, June 25 plus a parade in Sedgewick for the public at 6 p.m. on main street that day. We usually run our accompanying Grad Salute in September, so obviously we’ll be scrambling to put that together for next week’s paper. If anyone wants to save me a call and sponsor a $42 spot, call the office or email us please! I’m sad to hear that the Killam Rodeo and the Blacktop Bonanza that accompanies it are not going on this year, but for sure next year. Sounds so far like Hardisty Stampede, Cloverlodge Stampede (Viking), Bruce Stampede, and Kinsella Bullarama will be proceeding this summer if vaccine numbers are met and COVID numbers stay down. I can’t wait to enjoy these rodeos! Have you entered yourself in for the Alberta COVID raffle? There is the potential to win one of three million dollar prizes just by getting vaccinated. Eric and I entered almost immediately. Why not? We already have our first shots and are waiting for our chance to book for round two, so doesn’t hurt to also try and win some big bucks. Not only that, the LottoMax seems to keep growing and growing. Wouldn’t hurt to win that jackpot of 70 million, or even one of those million dollar prizes. I’m crossing my fingers that somebody local wins that big prize. Eric and I celebrated our sixth anniversary in Banff this weekend. Man oh man was it packed everywhere we went. We ended up spending most of our time in our rented cabin as all the lots for places were full. Also didn’t help that we took the dogs, and our elderly girl just can’t handle that much activity. I’m not complaining though. We explored the trails around where we were staying, ordered in and watched some movies by the fire. It was a great way to spend some time away.
The Killam Chamber is having a Flag Hunt on Canada Day. There will be six special Canadian Flags hidden around town in a scavenger hunt style game for families to take part in. The big prize is $154 Killam Kash and a Canadian Flag windsock. You can find out all of the details in the Classifieds in this ‘Press. If you see any of these wonderful people this week, be sure to wish them a happy birthday: Emily Rathjen, June 16; Jaime Cloutier, June 17; Corinne Campbell, Hudson Cox, Robert Borth, and Stephen Haughland, June 19; Madilyn Bishop and Todd Matier, June 20; Caryn Clark, June 22. Happy anniversary wishes go out to Jack and Sharon Moser who celebrate on June 18. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, soon-to-be dads, and grandpas! I hope you all get spoiled.
