A rodeo tradition returns!

The High Prairie Native Friendship Centre brought back a tradition from years ago at this year’s High Prairie Elks Pro Rodeo. The centre held a pancake breakfast July 28. Years ago, High Prairie St. Mark’s Anglican Church held a pancake breakfast the first day of the rodeo. This year, the centre brought back the tradition but held it Monday to kick off the week’s activities instead of Tuesday – the traditional first day of the rodeo. Pancakes, sausages and a variety of beverages were served to about 120 attending.

Friendship Centre staff are ready to serve a hungry public: Left-right are: Lorna Grammer, support worker for youth and Elder programs; Denae Cunningham, youth director; Christina Vitalis, program director; and Sacha Martens, executive director.
Flipping pancakes is volunteer Renee Grammer. Also flipping pancakes but not shown was Judy Stenhouse.
Distinguished guests attending the breakfast included the Friendship Centre’s founders, Wilf and Rosemarie Willier.
