One local cowgirl is headed to the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Red Deer with dreams of becoming Miss Rodeo Canada. Jayden Calvert was born and raised in the Drayton Valley area and comes from a line of rodeo queens. She says she’s always wanted to achieve this honour, and right now she’s very close to getting there.
One Drayton man completing the 40 km ride during the DV100 will be doing things a bit differently than everyone else. Nicholas Arnold is wheelchair basketball player who has spastic diaplegic cerebral palsy.
The Toy Run, hosted by the Drayton Valley Lions Club, will be running again for its 23rd year. Vice president of the club, John Luchyk, says this year they are keeping the route a surprise to change things up for the riders.
