The long weekend saw a Saturday morning parade in Merritt. The Rodeo was on and the flavor of the parade reflected that traditional and pioneer heritage. Butch Shara is one of a number of locals that make the rodeo and activities happen. Butch has been a supporter of rodeo and youth rodeo for many years.

“North Americas richest wild card rodeo”, finished Sunday with events canceled Monday due to cash crunch, all the people I talked to liked the event as they had good horses and bulls.No one seemed disappointed although attendance deemed low, for the singing stars..
I went to one of the three exchange s to the freeway Monday and counted 35 vehicles a minute or 2100 an hour, that’s a lot of cars going by. Maybe advertising was in-house and local posters. Comments from a person that helped supply horses from North Dakota ( horses from Lac la Biche Alberta) said the event should have been a jackpot event on the last day meaning the profits go to last day prizes.
