Congrats Patti Woods on once again taking the top two spots in both goes and the average!

Congrats to everyone who got a piece of the pie! And thank you to everyone for coming out!

The volunteer help this Series has been incredible and better than ever! Your help is so appreciated. I will be doing draws for each day for volunteers to have the chance to get their entry fees paid. Can you please message me if you helped! The weekend was a blur and I don’t want to miss anyone. So if you moved barrels at any point or stepped in to take over the gate while Leslie stepped away.

What a weekend at the 2026 Innes Arena Calcutta Fundraiser for the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation! ❤️

This Saturday, together we raised an incredible $14,375 — bringing our total raised since launching this annual event in 2022 to $41,569 for BC Children’s Hospital Foundation!

Thank you so much to:
✨ All of the competitors who put their names down
✨ Every bidder who joined in the action
✨ Every volunteer who helped keep things running smoothly

This event truly takes a community, and we are so grateful for the support year after year.

A huge thank you to HGR Quarter Horses for supporting and sponsoring this race since the very beginning.

And a very special congratulations and thank you to Will & Mackenzie Cottrell. Will secured his second consecutive championship title and once again chose to donate his entire $5,387 winnings right back to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation. They also did this in 2025, and their generosity has made an enormous impact on what we’ve been able to raise for such an important cause.

This event is always one of the highlights of the year — and 2026 absolutely did not disappoint. ❤️🏇

It’s going to be an action-packed weekend and we’ll need your help to keep things moving quickly and efficiently! 🤠🔥

We’re currently looking for help with:
• Barrel setters/movers
• Spotters for the live auction
• Gate help (to relieve Leslie Beckford)
• 50/50 sales
• Time Keeper (barrels)

These don’t have to be all-day positions — even lending a hand before or after your run, or having a parent or friend willing to help, makes a huge difference.
A few people have already offered, but some are al

so riding, so additional help would be greatly appreciated!

As a thank-you, we’ll be doing a draw for one volunteer to have their entry fee refunded! We’ll draw twice — once for Saturday helpers and once for Sunday helpers. 🎉

The amount of help we had at the last three races was amazing and so greatly appreciated. Let’s make this weekend another great one! ❤️
