If you have never experienced the rush of a live chuckwagon race, head to the Spirit of Bonnyville Chuckwagon Races June 28-30.
The thundering pound of the horses' hooves, the crowd cheering, and those final moments when the horses, wagon and rider simultaneously round the last bend is something that you just need to see live from the stands.
It's all part of the western heritage of this event geared to the whole family.
