PROFILE – KELSEY VANDERVALK

The Experience of CCYA Kelsey Vandervalk

Hard to believe it’s been 14 years since I attended a CCYA Conference and Show. The memories though are still so clear. I still remember at my first CCYA in 2000 in Stettler being a Junior and having no idea what was going on. I remember the senior member in my stall group guiding me to where I was supposed to be for the events and teaching me the ropes. I remember the train ride and robbery that the board had planned for a fun event. As the years went on, I remember travelling to the CCYA conferences and shows across Canada, sometimes on an airplane and sometimes by road, sometimes with cattle and sometimes without.
