Our thanks to JP Veitch and family
Today we extend our sincere thanks to JP Veitch and family.
JP and family have been huge supporters of the Canadian Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame for many years, in many capacities and we are extremely grateful for their continued support. As a former CFR qualifier, JP is very familiar with the rodeo world, and graciously gives back to it.
We are honored to be part of the JP Veitch and Family Scholarship, and commend JP on his choice to award five lucky recipients in its first year. Congratulations Katie Bews, Beau Gardner, Tegan Poitras, Payton Scoville and Waci Thomson, on receiving this honor.
Thank you Innisfail Auction Market
Today, we recognize another great sponsor: Innisfail Auction Market. Home to a couple of our inductees, the Daines family and Innisfail Auction Market have supported us for many years, and we are so grateful to them. We have the added bonus this year of having our 2004 inductee, Duane Daines as our live auction at the induction banquet.
