Town of Tofield

Town of Tofield

Located just 45 minutes southwest of Vegreville, the Town of Tofield has a wonderful variety of activities for everyone! Although once known to the Snow Goose Festival – celebrating the migration of waterfowl each spring – the drought conditions caused the Lake to dry completely. Although there are still many species of migratory birds to be seen, the numbers that once were noted, are migrating through areas to the east. But there is much more to be experienced in the Town of Tofield.

Perhaps a less formal visit to Tofield this year might include a visit to the Tofield Museum, a visit to the Tofield Farmer’s Market, or stop at some of the unique businesses in Tofield – eg. James Built Saddlery, Mom’s Ice Cream, or Snow Goose Quilting – to name just a few. Enjoy a day on the Golf Course, a walk along the paved trail system in Tofield, or a picnic lunch in one of the many parks in Town.

Tofield Sodbuster Rodeo

This rodeo is co-sanctioned with the Lakeland Rodeo Association (LRA) and the Wildrose Rodeo Association (WRA) – this annual event draws nearly 400 contestants annually and is the largest entry in the LRA.

Friday Night will kick off the event with a Rodeo Promenade on Tofield’s Mainstreet, and a “slack” Rodeo performance at the Rodeo grounds with free admission for that night only. On Saturday, the rodeo day will start with a Pancake Breakfast at the Indoor Arena, followed by a full day of rodeo action and closed off with a Rodeo Dance at 9 pm.

The Sodbusters Rodeo will end on Sunday, with Cowboy Church at 10:30 at the Community Hall and final rodeo performance at the fairgrounds starting from 1 pm.

Don’t miss out on the rodeo action!
