Wetaskiwin, AB- The 2012 Wetaskiwin Rawhide Rodeo is in the books for another year. Mother nature tried to damper the weekend with a dump of rain on Saturday night, but that never stopped the crowds from coming. Fans enjoyed watching the contestants playing in the mud for the final performance on Sunday, and were treated to some great rides and runs all weekend long. When it was all said and done Sunday, these were the 2012 Rawhide Rodeo Champions:
Bareback: Kody Lamb on Doubletree’s “Wart Hog” 74 pts
Novice Horse Riding: Aaron Mercer 60 pts
