Would people enter Steer Undecorating
as a trial event for one year?
(event would be open to both men and women)
Due to the fact that the Steer Wrestling event only had one entry at some of our 2020 rodeos this would keep the Steer Wrestlers coming to the rodeos.
PLEASE NOTE:
We are not eliminating Steer Wrestling, but rather we would be
adding Steer Undecorating in order to keep an event for
the Steer Wrestlers to be able to come and participate in.
We would like to have members contact Lonny Olson no later than
Feb 20, 2021 if they would be interested in entering this event.

"Your organization is to be commended on its hard work in enriching communities throughout Alberta"


THANK YOU SO MUCH...
to MLA Roger Reid for supporting and appreciating what we bring
to the many different communities in and around Alberta, and Minister,
Leela Sharon Aheer, Government of Alberta, Culture, Multiculturalism
and Status of Women, for all their incredible grant programs which
help to make organizations such as ours possible year after year.

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.

PLEASE NOTE:
For people who are having their payouts done via e-transfer, or
anyone else just wanting to know payout amounts and/or where
your winnings came from, look under the "Draws+Results" button and
click on the "Money Bag" in the chart for each particular rodeo.
_________________________________________________________________
The CSPRA can no longer take past payout cheques or
other third party cheques to pay for rodeo fees. The banks
have no way of proving your signature on the back.
Should any rodeo committee wish to cash these cheques, it will be the sole responsibility of that committee.
Please check with the individual Rodeo Secretaries prior to their rodeo should you require this service.

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.
