Saturday August 27th, 2016 was the 2nd Annual Magic Rodeo in Okotoks in-conjunction with the Okotoks Pro Rodeo. 

One of many "cowgirls-for-the-day" at Magic Rodeo

This event was created to give children with special needs an opportunity to learn about the sport of rodeo in a fun, safe and interactive environment.  Thanks to the committee and their sponsors it's a completely FREE event for the families including a BBQ lunch.

Sun Country's Rodeo Report and Professional Rodeo announer Mike Labelle was the announcer for the weekend and joined the morning show to give all the details. 

It was a truly local affair with country singer Lyndsay Butler of High River on-hand for the entire weekend to sing O'Canada and Alberta artist Drew Gregory was the cabaret entertainment.
