𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨 for continuing to believe in Big Bang and support this race year after year! 💜

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 sure looked bright at Big Bang 2026! 🌈🦄

Our Callie Rose PeeWees brought all the colour, smiles and fun to the arena this year. Watching these little competitors ride in, cheer each other on and make memories is always one of the highlights of our weekend.

We love that each year Big Bang is on the bucket list for so many of these little cowgirls and cowboys, and that we get to be a part of so many of them winning their very first buckle. 💜

A HUGE thank you to Sure Shot Wireline Inc. for continuing to support our Callie Rose Memorial PeeWee and helping us make it something special and memorable.

And a big thank you to Tar-Row Construction, our Best Dressed Alliance Equine blanket sponsor, for helping us add even more fun to this year’s Rainbows & Unicorns theme! 🌈🦄

We sure love watching the next generation fall in love with this sport. 💜

👏What a successful year we had👏

Thank you again to everyone who came, competed and supported this event to make this year what it was.

And now… we’re SO excited to be planning BIG BANG 2027, setting the bar high and finding even more ways to keep making this the funnest week of the summer. 👀🔥

08/19/2026

I just want to say thank you. ❤️

Kindness costs nothing, but this year you guys showed us just how much it can be worth.

Something that isn’t talked about enough in our industry is the emotional toll producing an event can take. Especially for independent producers and hosts.

We spend months preparing. We worry about every detail. Do we have enough prizes? Are they good enough? We obsess over making the right decisions, keeping things fair, accommodating everyone, fixing the things we CAN fix… and stress endlessly about the things completely outside of our control.

If you know me, you know I usually have about a month-long spiral of “I’ve failed” after Big Bang every year. 😂 Probably some combination of no sleep, stress, exhaustion and that one bad apple.

But this year… OMG. This year felt different.

The kindness we received before, during and especially AFTER Big Bang was honestly overwhelming in the best possible way.

The amount of lovely posts we saw. The messages. The people who stopped us just to say thank you or tell us they had a great time. People sharing pictures and stories from their week.
That made/makes us feel SOO GOOD!

Anndddd seeing so many of you recognize our sponsors.
You tagged them. You thanked them. You gave them shoutouts in your posts. You recognized the businesses that help make this event possible. Appreciation from our competitors helps us continue to grow Big Bang and give more back to you.

I think sometimes we forget that behind every barrel race, rodeo, jackpot or event is a person or a team who genuinely cares about how it turns out.

Producers put a lot of themselves into these events, and most of us probably take a lot more of it home with us than anyone ever realizes.

So thank you for being kind this year.

Thank you for noticing the work.

Thank you for supporting the people who support us.

Thank you for giving us grace when things weren't perfect.

And thank you for reminding all of us why we love doing this.

From our entire Big Bang team:

THANK YOU. ❤️

It meant more than you know.
