Wrestle that steer

A steer wrestler leans off his horse to grab onto the steer, during competition at the Weyburn Rodeo, which was held at the Exhibition grounds on Saturday and Sunday. There were 17 competitors in the steer wrestling during the weekend, including local rider Jason Schmidt from Weyburn who had his draw on Sunday. The Weyburn Rodeo was held in conjunction with the Weyburn Wheat Festival, and both events were attended with hundreds of people despite the cloudy, windy weather of the weekend. Events included with the Weyburn Wheat Festival were the art and trade show at Signal Hill, Heritage Days at Heritage Village, the Weyburn Farmer's Market and wheat show at the City Centre Mall, the Horticultural Show at Knox Hall, performances and children's activities at River Park and historical displays at the Soo Line Museum. During the Sunday performance of the Weyburn Rodeo, riders and the audience were challenged to see if they were "Tough Enough to Wear Pink", in an effort to raise awareness for Breast Cancer and raise funds to help promote research towards a cure.

Hoopdancing demonstration

Terrance Littletent demonstrates his hoopdancing skills, to a crowd at the River Park gazebo during the Weyburn Wheat Festival on Friday. Littletent has been hoopdancing since the age of 10, after being taught by his uncle, and went on to achieve the title of world hoopdancer champion in 1998. The art of hoopdance is a sacred dance for Native Americans, and it tells the story of Mother Nature. Littletent is accompanied in the dance by the Kawacotoose Boys singing and drumming, who are all family members.
