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.
Our STAGE is located at the east end of the Arena by the timed events area.
Did you know all of our STAMPEDE NIGHTS concert include the Evening Performance of Chuckwagon Racing!
Concert fan ticket holders are also invited to experience the concerts from our arena floor.
BONUS! Your evening ticket grants you FREE access to the Showdown Dance Hall (18+) before 11 PM, so you can keep the party going all night long. Don’t miss out on this incredible celebration of rodeo, music, and fun!

Always Canada Day Long Weekend, Always the Ponoka Stampede!
The rodeo community lost a legend this weekend 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 Mickey was born in 1927 and has spent most of his active life in the community of Ponoka, where he and his wife Margaret raised their two daughters, Janie and Wendy and have been blessed with four grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren.
Frank, who worked with the Town of Ponoka Public Works Department from 1956-1988, 17 years as a foreman, joined the Ponoka Stampede Association in 1959. His many decades of dedication have included serving as president from 1966 to 1971 and from 1984-1985 as well as a Director, Grounds Chairman and Grounds Manager. Frank who is a lifetime member of the Ponoka Stampede Association and the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association has also served as the President of the Stampede managers for 12 years, was on the CPRA board of directors for 20 years, the Dodge Rodeo rep from 1994-2000, the Central Alberta Rodeo Circuit president for eight years and he was on the CRPA board from 1999-2003.
He 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. In his younger years Frank was an avid hockey fan and would faithfully serve from 1952-1960 as the trainer for the Ponoka Stampeders Senior Hockey Club. 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.
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.
We’re thrilled to announce that our history vault is now open, and we’ve released a limited number of original Ponoka Stampede posters! Grab your very own piece of history for just **$50 each**. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just starting your collection, these limited edition posters are a must-have. Don’t miss out—secure yours today and celebrate the legacy of the Ponoka Stampede!

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!

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. ...

The rodeo community lost a legend this weekend 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 Mickey was born in 1927 and has spent most of his active life in the community of Ponoka, where he and his wife Margaret raised their two daughters, Janie and Wendy and have been blessed with four grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren.
Frank, who worked with the Town of Ponoka Public Works Department from 1956-1988, 17 years as a foreman, joined the Ponoka Stampede Association in 1959. His many decades of dedication have included serving as president from 1966 to 1971 and from 1984-1985 as well as a Director, Grounds Chairman and Grounds Manager. Frank who is a lifetime member of the Ponoka Stampede Association and the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association has also served as the President of the Stampede managers for 12 years, was on the CPRA board of directors for 20 years, the Dodge Rodeo rep from 1994-2000, the Central Alberta Rodeo Circuit president for eight years and he was on the CRPA board from 1999-2003.
He 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. In his younger years Frank was an avid hockey fan and would faithfully serve from 1952-1960 as the trainer for the Ponoka Stampeders Senior Hockey Club. 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.

Lest We Forget ❤️ ...

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 ❤️

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!
