Excitement is mounting in Thorhild as everyone prepares for the return of the
highly anticipated Thorhild Bullarama on April 19. This year, the Thorhild Agricultural
Society is introducing an exciting new addition to the competition…the Friday Night
Junior Roughstock Event.
Inspired by the impressive performances of two local young riders last year, the
Thorhild Agricultural Society saw an opportunity to further promote the sport of rodeo
amoung youth. Recognizing the value of providing young athletes with a platform to
display their skills, they partnered with the Canadian Junior Rodeo Association (CJRA)
to bring this event to the heart of Thorhild.
The CJRA is one of Canada’s fastest-growing youth rodeo associations,
dedicated to nurturing the next generation of roughstock competitors. The organization
prides itself on offering a safe, structured, and professionally run environment where
young riders can learn, compete, and build confidence. Safety is paramount at CJRA
events, which are supervised by experienced stock contractors, arena crews, chute
helpers, and pick-up men, ensuring all participants are well-supported.
In addition to the adrenaline-pumping rodeo action, the Thorhild Agricultural
Society will also be hosting a colouring contest in the weeks leading up to Bullarama.
Organizers are encouraging families and community members to check the Society’s
website and Facebook page for updates and details on how to participate.
With both seasoned rodeo fans and newcomers alike eagerly awaiting the event,
the Ag Society promises a memorable night of action, sportsmanship, and engagement.
Hold onto that bull rope, it’s going to be one wild ride.
