The Thorhild Bullarama returned with a bang this year, showcasing the thrilling
spectacle of Canadian rodeo as 25 of Canada’s top cowboys faced off against fierce
bulls from renowned providers such as Thompson Rodeo, Foley Bucking Bulls, Rafter N
Bucking Bulls, and S&M Bucking Bulls.
Tickets for the main event sold out two weeks in advance, an outpouring of
support that demonstrates a community’s excitement of the return of Thorhild Bullarama.
Despite the sell-out status for the main event, additional 18+ dance-only tickets were
made available at the door, giving those who missed out on the bull riding a chance to
still enjoy the evening.
The bull-riding competition was fierce, with a remarkable 39 entries vying for a
coveted spot among the 20 original competitors. In response to the high demand of
participants, organizers decided to expand the event by adding five additional spots,
thus, boosting the total number of bull-riders to 25 contestants competing for an
impressive $5,000 jackpot.
2025 marked the second successful hosting of the Thorhild Bullarama after a 12-
year hiatus, which was always a favourite but was canceled due to a decrease in the
number of volunteers. This year, just like last showed amazing support and many hands
quick to pitch in to make the Bullarama a success. “We have a really strong core group
of volunteers with the Ag Society, and we were pleased that we filled all the volunteer
spots within a few days of sending out the call,” remarked Alex Torguson, President of
the organizing committee.
Local talents also shone through the competition, with Aidan Mazurenko and
Brody Bandurka representing the community. Aidan made a commendable short go with
a score of 79.5 points, ultimately securing a 5th place finish overall in the event
average, despite being bucked off in the championship round.
The event concluded with Gilmar Santana from Brazil taking home the title,
scoring an impressive 83.5 points in the championship round and winning $3,475.00 as
part of his victory.
Aside from the exhilarating rodeo rides that had spectators cheering and

gasping, the Bullarama also featured a table auction and a 50/50 draw, which raised

funds to assist in replacing a compressor for the local ice plant, scheduled for
installation this fall.
The night wrapped up with an adult dance featuring the Ryan Snow Band, where
the dance floor was filled with energy, as everyone pulled up their boots and enjoyed a
night of two-stepping, twirling toe-tapping enjoyment.
In a show of community connection, Thorhild Titans Soccer also lent their support
by assisting with the Sunday cleanup, emphasizing the collaborative effort that made
the Thorhild Bullarama an all-around community event. Thorhild Bullarama is a crowd
favourite and a spring highlight that looks towards a continuing tradition of bringing bull-
riders right to their small-town fans.

The Radway Agricultural Society hosted its annual Easter Market on April 12,
offering complimentary entry to all attendees. This event always demonstrates the
amazing talent and wide range of products made locally. During a time where
individuals are striving to support Canadian made goods, markets such as the Radway
Ag Society Easter Market provide the perfect opportunity right out one’s front door to
purchase food products and more on a local level. In addition to the overwhelming
number of vendors, guests had the opportunity to grab a bite from the concession or
enjoy a homemade Ukrainian plate lunch, featuring traditional favourites such as
perogies that are always prepared in house by volunteer hands.
The market came alive with visitors, exploring a hall filled with vendor tables that
displayed an impressive array of local products, ranging from honey to handcrafted
items, as well as homemade paska. The Radway Lions Club was even in attendance
doing free vision screening for youth 12 and under. Despite facing competition from
several other Easter events that weekend, Radway’s market provided a distinctive and
inviting experience that resonated with families and individuals in the community.
The event’s success reflected the ongoing support from everyone who attends,
the commitment of local vendors, and the hard work of the Agricultural Society and its
volunteers. Together, they create such an environment that can only be described as
both welcoming and celebratory, they bring together the spirit that is always surrounding
events held in Radway.
Looking to the future, the Radway Agricultural Society is incredibly grateful for its
vendors and their ongoing support and presence and aims to build on this amazing
vendor list by establishing a market that becomes on of the most prominent and well-
attended within the area. Following the conclusion of the Easter Market, the society is
excited to focus on the upcoming Pioneer Days celebration and the Pioneer Days
Market, scheduled for July 26. This event is expected to further opportunities for local
artisans and vendors, while continuing to promote community engagement and
enjoyment for everyone.
