Guy Weadick Rodeo in High River celebrates pro rodeo and in style, just as its namesake did, back when he created his legendary rodeo events. Next month, watch as the next generation of the best in professional rodeo continues the legacy.

George Guy Weadick (February 23, 1885 – December 13, 1953) was an American-Canadian cowboy, performer and promoter. Today, he is best known as the founder of the Calgary Stampede. He was married to famed cowgirl, Florence LaDue.
