an old tradition in town, having replaced the Steamer Days which preceded it.

As to the company putting on the rodeo, these will be Three Hills Rodeo Company and Championship PRO Rodeo, working

together this year. Jaimie Keeku of the Stanley Rodeo had more

to share on just what fans can expect this Father's Days weekend

at Chapman Park.

"The rodeo started 18 years ago but due to Covid -19 this will be our 17th performance year," she shared via email. "Fans will

see some of the best athletes from the PRCA. Riders and the bulls, broncs, and steers.”

For tickets, Keeku said that, "Advance tickets can purchased

online thru Thursday evening,” along with the following

locations: Hazuga's True Value; Hansen's IGA; Oemig's Sport Shop; Forward Bank (Stanley Branch); and Martino's." And if

you’re hungry in the morning, Keeku made known that there’s

also a Cowboy Breakfast" put in Chapman Park by Our Savior's

Lutheran, held Saturday and Sunday at 10:00 a.m. The breakfast is one of the church’s fundraisers, Keeku said.

With so many working together to promote a good time in the Stanley Country, why not stop on down at Chapman Park this Father's Day Weekend? See you there!
