It's proudly referred to as the "Greatest Show in the NorthWest".

The annual Northwest Round Up and Exhibition goes this Thursday to Sunday, and promises something for every member of the family, according to Swan River Valley Agricultural Society President Lesley Sembaluk.

"We have a nerw guy coming in as well to the livestock barn, who will be doing a petting zoo.  We will also have pony rides, we have a livestock exhibition with some 4-H members bringing in their animals.  We have the outdoor show ring for light horse events, we have chariots and chuckwagon races, a parade, and rodeo events."

Another highlight is the RCMP Musical Ride, which will be returning to the Round Up with shows on both  Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

Sembaluk adds festival goers will also notice some recent renovations to the fairgrounds.

"We have some new ramps in place, as well as the grandstands being painted.  And we also had a brand new multi-purpose outdoor show ring that was fully sponsored by New Era Ag Technologies that was built this year as well."

After selling out their midway wristbands in advance, Sembaluk says they have received a few more from Select shows, which will go on sale ton Wednesday only from 10 until 4 at a cost of $30 each. 

Weekend passes for the Northwest Round Up are $75 for adults and $45 for youth.

There is no admission cost to get onto the grounds on Thursday, but there will be a $10 cost for Thursday's Grandstand show.
