Edmonton First Responder's Rodeo Association

🤠DID YOU KNOW?🤠

The Edmonton First Responders Rodeo Association (EFRRA) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to bringing together first responders, their families, and the community through a fun, family-friendly rodeo experience.

But the rodeo is about much more than competition.

Every year, EFRRA works to raise funds and awareness for two incredible local organizations:

💙 Legacy Place Society – providing mental health support, education, and resources for first responders and their families.

🦓 The Zebra Child & Youth Advocacy Centre – helping children and youth who have experienced abuse and trauma receive the support and care they need.

When you attend the Edmonton First Responders Rodeo, sponsor the event, volunteer, or purchase a ticket, you're helping support these important causes and making a difference right here in our community.

Together, we're celebrating the western lifestyle, supporting those who serve, and giving back to organizations that change lives.

🎟️ Join us on July 11, 2026, and be part of something bigger than the rodeo.

Pendleton Whisky is a blended Canadian whisky distilled in Alberta and shipped to Hood River Distillers in Oregon, where it is proofed with glacier-fed spring water from Mt. Hood. Known for its smooth, rich profile with notes of vanilla, caramel, and fall fruits, it is widely available across Canada!

**********

Some history taken from Pendletonwhiskey.com:

Based near the Cascade Region in Hood River, Oregon, Pendleton® Whisky was crafted to achieve a premium taste and aroma profile that can be found throughout the collection. Starting with precise barrel-aging in hearty American Oak and finishing with glacier-fed waters from Mt. Hood, we’re introducing whisky enthusiasts to the easy drinking style that cowboys have loved for years.

The Pendleton® Whisky brand honors a heritage that inspires us to live boldly, drink well, and taste the moment, wherever we may be.

**********

Thank you Pendleton!
