Lamont Rodeo a summer sizzling favorite

By Brandie Majeau

Lamont recently marked the 30th anniversary of their beloved Summer Sizzler

Rodeo, which took place on July 13 and 14. The festivities commenced with the vibrant

Town of Lamont Parade and a delightful pancake breakfast, setting the perfect tone for

the rodeo kick-off. Families and rodeo enthusiasts were treated to an impressive display

of skills and expertise during the kid’s rodeo, which set the stage for the thrilling events

to follow. The opening ceremonies, conducted by Lord Strathcona’s Mounted Troop,

signaled the official start of an action-packed weekend filled with spectacular rodeo

events.

Both Saturday and Sunday were brimming with excitement as talented rodeo

performers showcased a wide array of skills, highlighting the extraordinary bond

between horse and rider. Saturday concluded with a delicious steak dinner paired with

electrifying live entertainment, culminating in an adult dance featuring the musical

stylings of Travis Dolter.

Alongside the thrilling rodeo events, attendees had the opportunity to experience

the excitement of the annual Combine Crunch, a demonstration displaying the power

and precision of agricultural machinery, held on both days. Moreover, families were

delighted by the specially curated Kids Fun Zone, featuring a wide array of engaging

activities and entertainment that captivated the younger audience throughout the entire

weekend. The success of the event was made possible by the generous support of

rodeo sponsors, dedicated volunteers, and the enthusiastic participation of everyone

who joined in celebrating 30 years of Summer Sizzlin’ Rodeo fun.
