Stompede: Day 1

May 31, 2023 | 6:00 AM

It is time to go rodeoing and wagon racing at Evergreen Park.

Wednesday is Day 1 of Stompede.

The day will start with the rodeo slack at Noon. It will be all timed events and will include barrel racing along with tie-down, team and breakaway roping. The draw for the rodeo can be found here.

The 2023 wagon racing season starts for both the All-Pro Canadian Chuckwagon and Chariot Association and the World Professional Chuckwagon Association Wednesday as well.

There are 44 drivers competing in the WPCA races, so that means it will include 11 heats every night. The drivers for each heat can be found here.
