Great to kick off the Ponoka Stampede with MLA

"It's an absolute pleasure to kick off the Ponoka Stampede alongside MLA Jennifer Johnson and our esteemed colleagues. This iconic celebration of western heritage is a testament to Alberta's rich cultural identity, and we're thrilled to be a part of it.

Today's festivities were perfectly complemented by Mayor Kevin Ferguson's lunch, where we had the opportunity to connect with the community and reflect on the values that drive us: hard work, pride, and a deep respect for tradition.

As we delve into the excitement of the Stampede, let us also acknowledge the rich history and heritage that has brought us to this moment. It's a time to come together, to celebrate our roots, and to look towards a bright future.

So, let the Stampede begin! May the rodeo events thrill, the music enthrall, and the spirit of community inspire us all. 🤠"
