Our High River Little Britches Rodeo Queen, Grace, spent the weekend at the fantastically busy and successful Okotoks Pro Rodeo alongside Miss Rodeo Okotoks and other visiting royalty.

A huge thank you to our friends at Okotoks Pro Rodeo and Miss Rodeo Okotoks for inviting Grace and giving her such a lovely weekend to remember and congratulations on a great Event!

Grace had an absolute blast representing High River; and she even brought home 2nd place in the Dummy Roping. A huge thank you to Bill Whitelaw for capturing this awesome action shot of Grace in the saddle and the biggest congratulations to Grace; we are so proud of you! 💕🍁

How has it been a week already since our Battle of the Foothills Chuckwagon Racing came to town!

This year's BOTF was extra special, with our tribute to Tom Glass honoring his legacy in the sport. And we also welcomed some incredible special features; the Flying Cross Jockey Club and the 5Land Miniature Racing making their debut with us in the pre show slot; feisty and fast - a real hit.

And of course, huge congratulations to our 2026 champions! When the Championship Final was complete, Chad Fike, alongside outriders Nolan Cameron and Wyatt Dyck, emerged victorious following a remarkable performance.

A massive thank you to everyone who came out, cheered loud, and made it such a great event; our sponsors, volunteers, drivers, and every single person in the stands, we could not do it without you.

Here's a look back at some of the action and hope to see everyone back same time next year!

A quick note on our 50/50 draw

We've had a few calls asking about our 50/50 raffle this year, so we wanted to share the full story here for everyone.

Why did we move away from the old way to RaffleBox?

We want everyone buying a 50/50 ticket to do so with total confidence knowing it is handled securely and in line with AGLC rules. That's why we switched to RaffleBox which is one of the most well known Raffle Platforms; https://rafflebox.ca/, an AGLC-approved electronic raffle system. The change followed complaints after a previous event a couple years back, when some of our younger volunteers were noticed accidentally handling the odd raffle ticket; a clear breach of AGLC regulations. We took that seriously, consulted with AGLC, and made the switch with the full backing of AGLC, to ensure full compliance and community trust.

This was year two on RaffleBox. Year one had some growing pains for sure, but this year blew our socks off; thank you for the incredible support! Proceeds go directly to local 4-H groups, minor sports clubs who help us so much, the High River Community Cancer Centre, and Wild Rose Community Connections.

Why did the draw happen on Sunday morning rather than after the final race this weekend?

It came down to our AGLC licence. When you apply, you set a total ticket value tier and price points up front (like 20-for-$20). We sold out our approved tiers late on Saturday, so the draw had to happen then rather than running into day four. We were blown away by the support, especially compared to last year, and ao we will apply for the higher licence tier next year to allow for more of those popular tiers.

For information the Winning ticket: D-10451 ; winner has been contacted and won a Prize of over $8000!

One thing we can not decide on is whether the ONE BIG JACKPOT over the weekend worked best (next year we will have the bigger license and go all the way through to Sunday evening) or did people prefer smaller jackpots drawn each night? Please do comment below or reach out to the office as we want to get this right for you to ensure we can keep giving back to the Community with our 5050!

Thank you so much for your support. Do reach out to the office with any queries at any point. [email protected] or 403-652-7349.

Top charities, sports teams, and community organizations choose Rafflebox to grow their fundraising results with online raffles.
