The 27th annual Kindersley Indoor Rodeo held May 24-26 was another huge success.

Committee president Tyler Ritchie said he was very happy how things went.

Kole Ashbacher of Arrowwood, Alta., had a great ride in the saddle bronc event during the Saturday performance of the Kindersley Indoor Rodeo.

“Everything went really smooth,” he said. “I think we are in a bit of a groove now. Everything moved along very well.”

He added that it takes a lot of people to put this event on and he is very happy with their effort.

“I’m absolutely thrilled,” said Ritchie. “I can’t imagine putting on this event with another group. It is the most hard working crew ever. From the front gate workers to the rakers, to the beer garden workers, they all did such a great job.”
