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.

Del Vold and Elva Lewis named Honorary 90th Ponoka Stampede Presidents ❤️
This year’s Ponoka Stampede is the Year of the Cowgirl and what better way to do that than by announcing not one, but two honorary presidents, both of whom are cowgirls through and through and who were there when the whole thing started.
Del Vold, 95, and Elva Lewis, 101, are the fastest of friends. They both were at the first ever Ponoka Stampede and now they’re ready for the 90th. Their love and support of the rodeo is a true testament to their sense of family.
Del’s husband Nansen (Ralph) and her son, Blair, were both directors (and past presidents) with the Ponoka Stampede and Exhibition Association, and she’s seen them work through the many years of growth and change in Ponoka..
And for Elva, her husband Ivan and son Donnie were also directors of the association (Ivan was also president for some years). When asked if she ever tried to change their minds on a decision they made, she had an answer right away. “You’ve gotta be kidding me,” she joked.
One thing’s for sure, Elva’s memories of the rodeo go way back. “I can still remember running foot races underneath the grandstand,” explains Elva.

Here’s to the moms who make the Wild West so special. Happy Mother’s Day weekend from the Ponoka Stampede!
