Thank you to Tarp Auction Sponsors

9 decades deep. 900,000 strong.

What a night for the World Professional Chuckwagon Association and the Ponoka Stampede. A historic, record-breaking tarp auction at the Ponoka Stampede delivered an incredible $904,500—setting the tone for a milestone 90th year.

The top bid of the night reached a staggering $150,000 for the tarp of driver Dean Dreger, proudly sponsored by Four Legged Adventures.

From start to finish, it was a night powered by community, tradition, and the continued growth of chuckwagon racing.

A sincere thank you to all of our volunteers—especially the VJV Auction team, world champion auctioneer Dean Edge, and ringmen Josh Carothers and Christian Van Platen.

WILD WEST PBR PONOKA 🔥 SATURDAY, JUNE 27 Almost sold out 🤠 The toughest event of Stampede week is almost here, and the biggest names in PBR Canada are headed to Ponoka for one unforgettable night under the lights. Leading the charge is two-time PBR Canada Champion Nick Tetz of Calgary, the current No. 1 rider in the PBR Canada standings. Tetz has already captured major victories in Red Deer and Lethbridge this season and is chasing history as he looks to become just the second rider ever to win three PBR Canada National Championships. Hot on his heels is 19-year-old rookie sensation Jeremy Maissoneuve of Quebec, who has taken the PBR Canada tour by storm this season and is quickly becoming one of the sport’s brightest young stars. Fans will also see some of the toughest competitors in the sport, including Brazilian standout Gilmar Santana, currently one of the hottest riders on tour, along with Garrett Green, Coy Robbins, Dakota Buttar, Cody Coverchuk, Jake Gardner, Aaron Roy, and an international lineup of riders from Canada, the United States, Australia, and Brazil. The Wild West PBR Ponoka has been named PBR Canada Event of the Year twice and remains one of the riders’ favourite stops on tour. Every year, the Ponoka Stampede arena delivers electric rides, wrecks, walk-offs, and moments you’ll be talking about long after the final buzzer. Your Wild West PBR ticket includes: 🐂 Wild West PBR Ponoka 🏇 World Professional Chuckwagon Races 🎶 Live Stampede Nights Concert 💃 FREE admission to the Showdown Dance Hall before 11 PM (18+) As Jeremy Maissoneuve said: “I can’t wait to get there. And neither should anyone else.” 🎟 BUY NOW AND SAVE at PonokaStampede.com The Year of the Cowgirl. The toughest bulls. The best riders.

What is the Ponoka Stampede? 🤠 For 90 years, the Ponoka Stampede has been where the Wild West comes alive. It’s world-class rodeo. It’s thunderous chuckwagon racing. It’s the toughest bull riders in the business. It’s midway lights, live music, fireworks, free camping, pancake breakfasts, and memories made with family and friends. It’s where cowboys and cowgirls chase championships, where generations gather every summer, and where the spirit of the West is still alive and well. Whether you’re here for the rodeo, the concerts, the PBR, the chuckwagons, the midway, or the legendary late nights at the Showdown Dance Hall, there’s something for everyone. This year, we’re celebrating 90 years and the Year of the Cowgirl. Come experience the real Wild West of ’36. 📍 June 25 – July 1, 2026 🎟️ Tickets available now at PonokaStampede.com #PonokaStampede #YearOfTheCowgirl #WildWestOf36 #Alberta #Stampede
