--------------------------------------  Yesterday we celebrated the wonderful life of Jim Senos; definitely one of the special ones in our little rodeo family, CSPRA. Jim always had a smile on his face and a kind word or funny story for anyone he met and knew if you were so lucky. He lived and enjoyed life to the fullest and happiest as was his choice; a great reminder for all of us to make it ours too. Love and prayers go out to Bev and his family from us, his/your forever rodeo family xox ---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------  to the COCHRANE LIONS RODEO COMMITTEE for an amazing rodeo plus dealing with the added difficulty of mother nature! "Hat's off for all their efforts making the soaking wet ground as reliable and safe as possible for contestants and animals, what a fantastically run rodeo, you went above and beyond to make it an awesome event! Much thanks to all the very helpful committee workers, volunteers and rodeo fans who were out there on that chilly wet weekend!!! Great job Cochrane Lions Club Rodeo Committee, THANK YOU, looking forward to next year!" -------------------------------- Explanation of Fees for a Cancelled Rodeo: As per the 2016 cancelled rodeo at Nanton, it was established that there still needs to be office/admin fees charged so that the Rodeo Committee and the CSPRA Office, who both have put in a lot of work prior to the rodeo(s), can help to partially pay for costs incurred. $13.80 was charged to each entered contestant ($5.00/Committee office fee, $8.50/CSPRA office/admin fee, $.30/GST) When the rodeo package is returned to the CSPRA office, all contestant receipts will be reviewed to verify these additional charges were correct, and if needed refunds will be made at that time. the CSPRA and Mother Nature, thank you for your understanding! ----------------------------------------------------- PLEASE NOTE: All CSPRA Rodeos have a "Cowboy Attire" dress code anytime while in the arena, competing or not: Collared, cuffed, long-sleeve shirt, western cowboy hat and boots. (with exception being a ribbon runner who may wear other footwear and no cowboy hat)Thank You ------------------------------------------------------------ ATTENTION ROUGHSTOCK RIDERS!!! Here are the last two rodeos of 2019 needed to qualify for the CSPRA Finals. Next two are in Bowden on August 5th & 6th. You need all four to qualify.  Next rodeo entries will be July 16-23, 2019 for the Mountain View/Bowden Rodeos (Timed & Roughstock Events at these rodeos) Call 403-875-3242 - entries close July 23 -------------------------------------------- $$$ And for anyone wondering about Rodeo Payouts... ...the rodeo committee has four days to get their completed rodeo package into the CSPRA office; we then verify all paperwork and either do an etransfer or mail out a cheque with your winnings. **If you wish to switch from cheques to etransfers (which is much quicker and more reliable than Canada Post) please let me know your email address to send to. -------------------------------------------- It was an Effie Simpson weekend at the High River Rodeos! The CSPRA presented her with a "Legacy Award" for all her years of dedication to the Association and serving on the Board for 20 years - 1998 to 2018 - plus being our raffle ticket selling queen!   Past President Lynn Turcato and Director Marilyn Callaway present Effie with her "Legacy" plaque. Thank you to "The Fixer Ltd" (Lee Phillips & Trish Ferguson) for making and donating the incredible wood piece. Please check out their facebook page for more of their creations. ------------------------------------  ROUGHSTOCK ONLY MEMBERSHIPS ARE $95.00 plus GST ($99.75) CSPRA Roughstock starts at age 35!!! (two age groups: 35-49 and 50+) To qualify for the CSPRA Finals, roughstock riders must ride at five rodeos or however many rodeos if less than the five. ie: looks like we will have 3 rodeos with roughstock in 2019 so the number needed to qualify for finals will be four. --------------------------------------   The 2018 recipient for Lakeland College Scholarship is: Jaclyn Noil from Coronach, SK in Animal Health Technology The 2018 recipient for Olds College Scholarship is: Evan Case-Skubleny in Brew Master/Operations Course Thank you to all our members who help support the future of rodeo through these programs! ------------------------------------------------

Canadian Senior Pro Rodeo Association -- Rodeo Forever!
The Canadian rodeo season starts in April with rodeos scattered across Western Canada throughout the spring, summer and fall. The Canadian Finals are a sudden death finals held in October at the Claresholm Agriplex, Claresholm, Alberta.
Contestants compete in such events as Barrel Racing, Steer Wrestling, Tie Down Roping, Men's and Ladies Breakaway, Saddle Bronc Riding, Bareback Riding, Bull Riding, Team Roping and Ribbon Roping. Included in the opportunity to enjoy Senior Pro Rodeo is the choice to head south of the border to rodeos hosted by the National Senior Pro Rodeo Association.
The CSPRA now offers the options of hosting a "full" CSPRA rodeo, a "timed event only" rodeo or a "roughstock only" rodeo. A timed event only rodeo will consist of tie down roping, breakaway roping, ladies barrel racing, ribbon roping, team roping and steer wrestling. All rodeos have to follow the CSPRA rule book to be sanctioned. Please contact the committee representative or your event director with any questions. Be advised that the NSPRA has moved to a “region” format since the 2014 season and included in the Canadian region will be ALL CSPRA rodeos as well as those rodeos occurring in Montana.
* We are now set up for e-transfer!
