WAF Pre Tour Starts Today

Welcome to Canada and Alberta! The WAF Pre-Tour starts today and we're all hoping the cool, wet weather changes to be a bit warmer (except in areas around Camrose and Stettler where rain is really still very much needed). Keep up to date with the ever changing weather conditions for Calgary by visiting Environment Canada's website.
The tour starts from Calgary and heads north to visit Alta Genetics, Irvine's Tack, Trailer & Western Wear and then a stop at the Olds Auction Mart where everything is spic and span for the Stampede's Auctioneer's Contest on Friday. Then off to Marshall Feedlot for lunch, the Sylvan Lake Hockey School and Alhambra for a demonstration of horse skills and supper. The day ends at Rocky Mountain House for overnight before heading to the mountains. Several volunteers will accompany the tour on the first day. If any photos filter back, they'll be posted here.
