Frank’s final ride ❤️ Thank you to everyone who attended Franks celebration of life. The rodeo community lost a legend as Ponoka Stampede Lifetime Member and Senator, Frank Mickey, passed away on November 22. Frank began volunteering at the Ponoka Stampede in 1947 - and for the next 78 years he devoted immeasurable time and effort into building the Stampede into the world class event we know today. Frank received ‘Man of the Year’ honors with the Ponoka Stampede Association and the CPRA in 1984 and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in the builders category in 2005. He has proudly overseen many changes and improvements to the Stampede Grounds and rodeo events over the years, including the amazing transformation from wood to steel of the grandstands, the chutes, the corrals, and buildings. Factors for ongoing successes have included the addition of the RV Park, Longscore Saloon, Tommy Dorchester Paddock, the Stagecoach Saloon, the rebuilding of the racetrack and the access tunnel, the Wild West Grandstand and Showdown Dance Hall. Through all his dedication and efforts, Frank is quick to salute the support and enthusiasm of the volunteers, the community, the generations of PSA members and from the many thousands of rodeo contestants and fans. His footprints mark every inch of the Ponoka Stampede grounds- and will always remain here. Rest easy cowboy- your work is done.

On behalf of President Rick Wierzba and the entire Board of Directors, we want to extend our deepest love and support to the Pugh family during this difficult time. Bobby was not just a member of our community; he was a shining beacon of joy and dedication, whose presence enriched our lives and the Ponoka Stampede. From the moment Bobby stepped behind the chutes, it was clear that he was more than just a volunteer. His unwavering commitment to judging amateur competitions and his tireless efforts ensured that each participant felt valued and celebrated. Bobby had a unique ability to bring smiles to our faces, lighting up lives with his infectious spirit and genuine kindness. To the Pugh family, please know that you are surrounded by love and support from all of us. Let us honor his memory by keeping his spirit alive in everything we do. Rest easy Cowboy ❤️ 📸 @aswedgan

Congratulations to Covy Moore, our Official Photographer for the Ponoka Stampede, on being named the inaugural recipient of the Canadian Professional Pro Rodeo Association’s “Photographer of the Year” award! For the past nine years, Covy has captured the Stampede with a unique perspective that has significantly boosted our marketing and advertising efforts. His exceptional photographic storytelling has not only showcased the thrill of Pro Rodeo but shown audiences the “behind the chutes” perspective. His work has elevated the Ponoka Stampede itself. We deeply appreciate your talent, passion, and dedication, as well as the countless hours laying in the dirt and maneuvering through the arena in order to capture the perfect shot, editing late into the night, and consistently meeting tight deadlines. Covy, you truly embody being the first, the best, and the different. Congratulations from your friends and fans at the Ponoka Stampede! #ponokastampede #ponokastampede #prorodeo #covymoore #bestphotographer #champion 🎥 @waceyanderson
