The west turned wild in edmonton

36th Canadian finals rodeo rides off into the sunset   

With six action packed performances over five days and bragging rights on the line, 120 of the world’s best rodeo athletes competed against world-class stock and the clock at Canadian Finals Rodeo (CFR) for a share of a record $1.27 million dollars.

Rodeo fans were treated to exciting white-knuckled action in the dirt as the west turned wild in Edmonton.  From November 11-15, 83,904 fans kicked up their heels at the 36th CFR at Rexall Place.

CFR is considered the pinnacle of the rodeo season and is one of Alberta’s biggest tourism draws in the fall.

Ken Knowles, Northlands President said, “Rodeo fans were treated to a fantastic week at CFR and I would like to salute all those involved in making the event a success.” Knowles added, “We’re absolutely thrilled that the non-stop action of CFR will thrive in Edmonton through 2016, and Northlands is pleased to play our role in bringing the best rodeo action to our City.”

One highlight of CFR included a salute to the Canadian Military during the Friday performance as over two hundred members of the military and their families were in attendance and rodeo fans responded in kind by wearing red as a show of support. The go-round winners also donated their buckles to members of the military.

Saturday night’s action included bull riders on Harleys and members of Edmonton Police Service rappelling from the roof in front of a sold-out crowd.

Due to a carryover from last year’s 50/50, Wednesday night’s winner took home a record $38, 472.

Canadian Finals Rodeo rides back into Edmonton November November 10-14, 2010.

 

The following are the results of the sixth performance of Canadian Finals Rodeo (CFR) held at Rexall Place. Attendance for Sunday, November 15, 2009 was 14,004.
