The second annual Round-Up Ready Rodeo held in Kennedy was another success. The event was developed by Natasha Romanow and Jaime Balon who wanted to bring families together to participate and enjoy a day of rodeo together.
Events included youth and open categories which allowed parents and kids to all enjoy competing throughout the day.
The crowd was wow'd just after 1 p.m. when the flags were brought in and a trick riding demonstration was held. Video of the trick riding demonstration can be found by visiting this article online.
Young, Halle Balon brought in the Canadian flag, while trick riders Ciera Romanow carried in the Saskatchewan flag and Kylee Dixon carried in the McMillan Motor Products flag.
This was immediately followed by an impressive showing of two young trick riders – Romanow and Dixon. Demonstrating a variety of tricks the two were given large rounds of applause as they completed each skill.
Overall it was an entertaining day, which saw families join together to celebrate the west.
Additionally, community support and support by local businesses ensured a successful event.
