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.
