Red Deer ropes in Canadian Finals Rodeo for next decade
RED DEER – Not only is the Canadian Finals Rodeo coming to Red Deer, it’s staying for the next decade.
One of the worst-kept secrets was made official Tuesday, Jan. 16 with the announcement that the CFR is moving to Red Deer after 44 years in Edmonton.
This year’s rodeo will hit the dirt at the Enmax Centrium from Oct. 30 to Nov. 4.
“We feel honoured that the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA) has chosen Red Deer to be the new home for CFR,” says Ben Antifaiff, CEO and general manager at Westerner Park. “Together as a community, we should be very proud of this moment and celebrate that the CFR will continue its legacy right here in Central Alberta.”
