The tradition of the Canadian Cowboys Association Finals Rodeo will continue this week in Swift Current.

In honour of the week, the City of Swift Current has proclaimed this week, 'CCA Finals Rodeo Week.'

The rodeo kicks off October 16 and will run until October 19 at the Innovation Credit Union iPlex and will feature cowboys and cowgirls from all over.

"This is the biggest event on the CCA calendar," Robin Poirier, president of CCA said. "The 2018 Finals Rodeo was very successful with an overall attendance of over 12,000; the event put Swift Current on the entertainment map once again, this year's event promises to be equal or stronger than last year. We will catch the best of the best in 7 major events.

"He added that this year's event will feature three new events, along with the non-rodeo events like a trade show, and saloon for those in attendance to check out.

The CCA Finals Rodeo will continue to call Swift Current home until 2026.
