Hanover Ag's Bull Riders Canada Invitational

Hanover Ag’s Bull Riders Invitational presented by Steinbach Feeds was another successful event at the Keystone Agri-Motive Livestock Arena. Thanks to Bull Riders Canada and Crossfire Bullriding for their partnership.

Day 1’s championship round saw 2 successful rides from previous riders. Gilmar Santana rode MBB Sock Monkey for 87 points, the highest so far. However, in the final ride of the night, Jeremy Masionneuve took on the many-time Bull of the Event winner How High from RKO Bucking Bulls for 88 points! This outstanding ride pushed him to the top of the leaderboard and secured the win on day number 1.

In the final round of the day 2, just 2 riders were able to make the 8 second buzzer. 2022 BRC champion Fabian Dueck, who is has retirement on the mind, made his return to a familiar arena where he was a previous winner and rode MBB Old School Kool for 84.5 points. However, it was the number 2 cowboy Hayden Mulvey with the highest score of the night – 86.5 points on MBB Real Bad Raisin.

However, Jeremy’s 173 points from day 1 that secured him the event win! Click here for more info.

Headliner Concert

What a spectacular night! On Saturday, August 16th fans were treated to an amazing concert by two of the hottest rising acts!

Ryan Langdon from Ontario headlined the concert and was supported by Manitoba’s own The Sean Taylor Band!

Just as the band finished up, the town was treated to a fireworks display from CanFire – the perfect end to a great day!

 

 

Kevin Toews Memorial Arm Wresting Competition

The arm wrestling competition is a tried and true Fair favourite. This is the third year since the event has been renamed to honour one of the past organizers, Kevin Toews.

We are fortunate to now have Billy Berg and his team organize and run the event currently. They are a great group dedicated to the sport of arm wrestling in Manitoba and beyond.

Congratulations to this year’s winner Kyle Backlund and Nick Penner who took 2nd place.
