22/ OCTOBER 2022 THE RIDER 2022 Nith River Round Up’s Shannon Adams Memorial Roping


Submitted by Dani and Chad Beechey, Hosts and Organizers. While it may have


been dusty, one thing is clear… we had an awesome weekend at NR Round Up for our Shannon Adams Me- morial Roping. We had a total of 770


breakaway, tie down and team roping runs over the weekend, and a lively Satur- day night dinner & dance with an awesome band (Paul Wainwright & The Book Ends) to round out a beautiful weekend on the ranch under the stars, fol- lowed by an outstanding cowboy breakfast on the back lawn on the Sunday morning . We put the spotlight


on brand new ropers once again this year with our Green as Grass Breakaway Class (slower stock) and our Green as Grass Team Rop- ing Class (where you part- ner a brand new roper with a seasoned volunteer to rope slower stock). We also had a really competitive tie down class,


awesome ladies


breakaway, incredible youth breakaway, open & open 3D breakaway and a really fun 3 Round Progressive Team Roping on the Sunday to finish off the weekend! But for us, the most


meaningful number of the weekend (and the one we are most proud of) is that WE RAISED *$7000* for the Juravinski Cancer Cen- tre in memory of Shannon


Adams. Shannon was a shining light that lives on in her beautiful kids. We hope in some small way this money helps Juravinski to continue to advance the


amazing work they do in the battle with cancer. This money raised came from a variety of places; every roper donated (in lieu of arena fees/ office fees), we


held an awesome 2 day silent auction, and sold bal- lots for draw prizes. Addi- tionally many


straight up donated to this great cause.


This entire event could


not have happened without our INCREDIBLE sponsors always in our corner and the army of volunteers who made it happen through sweat, dust and smiles. Thank you to each one of you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you to every roper who came and all who supported this weekend! Whether it was helping with timers, running the stripping chute, donating to the silent auction or problem solving wherever needed. We thank you from the


bottom of our hearts! Dani & Chad
