BUFFALO NEWS: Annual Buffalo Rodeo set for this weekend

By Lorraine Monkman

The countryside has received varying amounts of rain in the past few days. I know it's not great for those who are harvesting but the danger of fire is so much reduced.

Just a reminder of the memorial service to honour Betty Rinker will be held in Buffalo Hall on Wednesday, August 14 at 2:00 p.m. Betty passed away in Calgary on May 2, 2024 and is survived by her daughter Debbie (Jerry) Schmipf, granddaughter Krystal Riddick and great granddaughters Hannah, Nyah and Ellie Riddick all of Calgary  Brother Wayne (Myna) Wendt, and sisters Lily Rinker and Linda Becker will also miss Betty as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Get well wishes are extended to Jodie Campbell who had an accident with her horse on Sunday. Jodie is in Foothills Hospital suffering broken bones.  Get well soon Jodie. This is not the vacation you had planned!

The annual Buffalo Rodeo is scheduled for this weekend August 16, 17 and 18 at the rodeo grounds. Come out and take part in this family event.
