We had a BLAST this past weekend at the @virdenindoorrodeo , an we’re already counting down the days until next year!

Friday we took in a little @manitobahighschoolrodeo action in the afternoon, and then had a delicious meal at the Sponsor Supper! We had a blast at Rodeo Night 1 up at our booth on the concourse!

Saturday we jumped in the car and partook in a little rainy morning parade! We headed back to the rink for a Sold Out Saturday Night Rodeo Performance! We headed to the curling rink for the Daze Dance, and danced the night away!

Sunday morning we headed over to watch the Demolition Derby before the final night of the Rodeo!

Congratulations to all of the Shootout Sunday Winners, especially a few of our local contestants!
