Red Deer groups who bid to host CFR hosting press conference Tuesday
RED DEER, AB — The Canadian Finals Rodeo could soon be a reality in Red Deer.
The Red Deer and District Chamber of Commerce and Westerner Park have scheduled a “major announcement” for Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at the Enmax Centrium.
Officials from both organizations have yet to comment on the nature of the announcement, but it is expected that they will announce the success of their bid to bring the CFR to Red Deer.
Specific details of the announcement are not yet known. The joint Chamber/Westerner proposal sought to bring the rodeo to Red Deer for 10 years starting in 2018. The Enmax Centrium would host the rodeo each November prior to AgriTrade, according to the bid.
