Top Notch Performances from Canada’s Top Cowboys at Kinsella Bullarama Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Canada’s top cowboys competed for the coveted championship buckle at the Kinsella Graveldome before a packed audience on July 21. In the end it was Jared Parsonage from Maple Creek, Saskatchewan who claimed the title. He beat out six other cowboys in the short go to earn top spot. A total of 30 cowboys from all over the world came to ride in Kinsella. The bulls were fierce, challenging both the cowboys and bullfighters who helped to keep them safe. The event was held in honour of Cody and Lorraine McKie. Cody died in a car accident on September 14, 2014 and Lorraine died of cancer on May 15, 2016. Marti McKie said, “The memorial part of the bullriding is very important to my family and I. Giving away the buckle to the top bull rider of the event is the best way to honour them (Cody and Lorraine McKie.)

many years to come.” Shelyce Morrison, Treasurer of the Kinsella Rec. and Ag. Society, said they pushed back the event one week to accommodate cowboys coming from the Calgary Stampede to the community to participate in the bullarama. The 22nd annual event went smoothly thanks to the hard work of Bullarama committee members which consisted of 20 local volunCowboy Callum Miller.

The intimate setting created a unique dynamic as audience members truly felt like they were a part of the action. Being up close and personal lent itself to electric atmosphere. The weather was ideal and folks were relaxed and happy as they visited with each other throughout the performance. Canadian veterans were honoured during the event. Mac McKie presented a $500 cheque to Bruce Given, Operations Manager of the Veterans Food Bank Association in Edmonton. Jean Hinecker presented a handmade quilt which featured the signature symbol of remembrance, poppies, to Given.
VINTAGE - CONTINUED from PAGE 9 of the motor and you can see exactly where you are driving. It’s kind of cool. It was mostly used for swathing, pulling hay wagons, and that kind of stuff. It has a PTO (Power Take Off) in the back that would run an old threshing machine. They are hoping to be able to do that out at the museum. Everything totally functions. I am glad that it went somewhere where it will get used and appreciated.” Joe Bilyk driving the McCormick Farmall A tractor. As to how Joe came to (Dave Berry/Submitted Photo) own the tractor? He explained, “It was my cousin Ken. When Uncle would whack me a couple times on my knuckles and Emil passed away he had called me and said you I remembered why I paid attention.” For such a small tractor it had a lot of horse- were always the one that was always driving it and power; about 40 horse as Joe recalls. “That was a spending time with them. So he and his siblings gave lot of power in a little tractor and it worked hard it to me. That was back in the mid-90’s. I had it rebuilt it 20 some years ago. There was a most of the time. What made it unique was the fact that the seat is offset. You actually sit to the right problem with the clutch and one of the cylinders. I
have a friend, Ray Talaga from Mundare Farm Equipment at the time. I told him, ‘you’ve got the whole winter’ and we decided to repaint, put new decals, and make it look like it did originally.” Joe said he had to part with the tractor because he’s moving to Vegreville from the acreage and would no longer have the space for it. “The nice thing is that it will last for many years to come.” Now current and future generations will have a chance to see and learn about the tractor that played a big part in Joe’s life.
