A great western tradition - reminisce for three days - jam packed with poems, songs, stories and tales past and present of the real cowboy life. Come and meet the poets, musicians and artisans at the Horseshoe Pavilion. Sit a spell in the grandstand while the experts train a green horse and entertain you, or catch a ride on the horse-drawn wagons for a tour around the grounds. The aroma of Alberta beef, the "best in the west" will fill the air on Friday and Saturday at the BBQ.
