It was a good night on Friday June 22 for rodeo action at Guy Weadick Days in High River.

Saddle bronc rider Sam Kelts, from Stavely sits in 1st place overall as he held on for a score of 80, and is hoping it holds out over the next couple of days.

A rougher night for the bull riders, as only two managed to stay on for 8 seconds.

More locals join the fray tonight, among them are: Kole Ashbacher from Arrowwood, Zeke and Wyatt Thurston from Big Valley and Clay Elliot for Nanton.

The actions starts again this afternoon at 2pm in High River on the Ag grounds.
