Richer Rodeo – August 8-10!
The Richer Rodeo, Richer’s signature community event is upon us starting this Friday and running until Sunday in the Dawson Trail Park. The committee that organizes the rodeo have worked on the 2025 event for the past 8 months and is promising to again pulling out all the stops to welcome everyone to another spectacular weekend. New this year is an option to purchase online tickets which was initiated to try and streamline the front gate. Online ticket purchasers can get into a separate dedicated
lineup. The Gel Battle Zone is a new feature at the rodeo, allowing guests to play a non-staining, less aggressive form of paintball. The balls basically dissolve on impact making it an entire family friendly event from youth, teens and adults. Registering for Mutton Busting has also been streamlined with an added online registration. While there is an option to sign up on Saturday and Sunday in-person, all entries will be placed into a draw in order to make it more fair and
remove the need to stand in line for hours. Friday night kicks off with the Grey Cup Tour Bus hosting tons of interactive games and chances to win prizes.
This will be followed by the annual Bull Riders of Canada Bullnanza with contestants arriving from all over the continent to compete. The Giant Rodeo Social will take place right on time following the Bullnanza. Saturday and Sunday will feature an exciting Heartland Rodeo with hundreds of competitors, live entertainment on the busking stage and tons of activities for the family. Saturday evening will feature Quinton Blair onstage in the Premier Tech Multiplex for a social and concert!
