Daines Ranch Pro Rodeo - Innisfail, AB

The 50Th Annual Daines Ranch Pro Rodeo will be held the second weekend in June at the Daines Ranch 4 miles North of Innisfail, AB. The rodeo grounds here offers an up and personal feel for all rodeo fans, rookie or veterans. It has some of the best cowboys in the world competing and entertaining the crowds. Last year eight-time world champion cowboy Trevor Brazile showed up and competed. Trevor had never worked a Canadian event before other than the Calgary Stampede. So if the Daines Ranch Rodeo is good enough for Trevor it shows what kind of rodeo event this really is. But it is such a great rodeo because it is put on by cowboys for cowboys. Jack Daines, Canadian Pro Rodeo Hall of Famer, is the backbone behind this event along with his boys and family who have all been part of rodeo for years.
Other entertainment at the Daines Ranch is the nightly concerts put on by some the top musicians and entertainers in the country music industry. They perform on the Budweiser stage alongside the ever so good looking Budweiser girls who are there to serve you beverages and your eye appeal. There is a parade in the downtown Innisfail organized by the Innisfail Rotary Club and is on the Saturday of rodeo weekend.




Hope to see you at the Rodeo!
