Stampede Roundup: Looking forward to a strong partnership to benefit everyone

By Ryan McCracken on November 8, 2024.

It was a productive week for the Medicine Hat Exhibition & Stampede.

Stampede leadership appeared at Monday’s meeting of city council to present an update on our grandstand revitalization project, and we thank all council members and those who came out in support.

This project would replace our aging North Grandstand and expand the building into a multi-use facility, providing great economic, educational and social impact to our community by attracting exciting new events to Medicine Hat and enhancing the many events we already offer.

We look forward to seeing this effort through in partnership with the City of Medicine Hat, and bringing a new level of entertainment, education and recreation to this community.

A look ahead

The chilly weather may be rolling in, but the Stampede is still running hot with events every weekend.

The Christmas Farmers’ Market makes its annual return to the Cypress Centre Nov. 15-16, featuring homemade treats, crafty vendors, bath and body products and more. Admission is just $2 at the door, and free for kids 12 & under.

The Stampede is thrilled to welcome back the Cypress County Ag Connections Conference on Wednesday, Nov. 20. This year’s event will feature twice as many participants as last year, with keynote speakers, networking opportunities, exhibitor booths, a social hour and so much more.

On Nov. 21, Canadian Wrestling Elite’s Rumble to Remember will take over the Wildrose Room in Higdon Hall. Tickets to this over the top Rope Rumble event can be purchased at cwetickets.com.

On Saturday, Nov. 23, the Stampede will welcome two events with the Free Your Soul Market in the Cactus Room and the Medicine Hat Hindu Association’s Diwali Celebration in the Cypress Centre Auditorium.

The Something For Everyone Christmas Market returns to the Cypress Centre Pavilion on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 to close out this month and kick off the next!

December will once again feature the Stampede annual staples of the Connect First Credit Union Olde Tyme Christmas Fair and Market on Thursday, Dec. 5, and the Beef Pen Show and Cowboy Christmas Trade Show on Dec. 20-21.

Santa will be back on the grounds taking free photos for Olde Tyme Christmas, which will again feature free wagon rides, free hot dogs, free hot chocolate, and now free s’mores as well! Pioneer Village will also be fully open for the evening so make sure to drop by and share in the Holiday spirit.
