Whether you plan on spending time with family at the lake, taking a trip, staying at home, or anything in between, it's set to be a great weekend and the forecast is nearly perfect with nothing but sun and hot temperatures.

If you are looking for a trip, you can make the short 90 minute drive to Ashern as their will host their rodeo weekend. Beginning on Friday and running until Sunday, there is something for those of all ages throughout the three-day event. 

The main attraction is the Canadian Cowboys Association rodeo, but that's not it. There will be a street dance on Friday on Main Street and come Saturday morning, everyone can get their day started with a pancake breakfast. There will also be a social on Saturday night at the rodeo grounds and come Sunday, there is 'Cowboy Church' and the rodeo begins at 1:00 p.m. 

Rachel Vander Veen is the president of the Ashern rodeo association and she wants to thank everyone that has helped put this special weekend together.

"We have a board that has put in hundreds of hours, they work tirelessly and they deserve a lot of credit," said Vander Veen. "We also have other clubs that help put on events throughout the weekend including the street dance."

So if you're looking for something to do this weekend, Ashern could be the place to be. All guests will be welcomed with open arms and there is a ton of fun to be had.
