Ag Society Secretary Tracy Childs said, “It was great turnout for the wagon rally! Eight wagons full, twelve outriders, excellent views of the last of the leaves falling around Beaverhill Creek, and the sun even peeked out a few times.”

Childs expressed her gratitude to the farmers who allowed them to travel on their land. In total they travelled eight miles on road and in fields.

The event also featured a poker rally with the top hand winning a total of $280.

The fall wagon ride has been a tradition for about the last 10 years, noted Childs, with the winter Cutter Rally taking place long before that.
