Wow, a day off the farm (almost 2 days). Some time ago we received an invitation from our bull supplier, Soderglen Ranches for tickets to the chuck wagon races and the stage show at the Ponoka Stampede. But with as busy a schedule as we have we had to decline the invitation. We did however keep the date in mind as midweek is probably our best time to get away. At the last minute we managed to get all our ducks in a row, grab some last minute seats, and with Keri and Randy looking after the farm we snuck away to both the Rodeo performance ,the stage show with Neal McCoy, and the fireworks on Tuesday evening. We then stayed overnight on the stampede grounds in our trailer (first time in 2 years). After enjoying the evening performance we purchased some tickets for the afternoon performance the next day. We then packed up and arrived home that evening feeling at least a little bit more relaxed than when we left. Even though when we got home at 8:30 in the evening the pickling crew was still hard at work making pickles. Even though we were gone our dedicated staff still goes the extra mile to get things done. Keri and Randy did an excellent job of keeping things running smoothly, although I think they almost had to move into our house just to be here with all the things happening on the farm and 2 little girls to keep track of.
