The 2011 Pincher Creek and District Ag Society rodeo was a classic event. Hot weather and clear blue skies brought the crowds out in large numbers, particularly on Saturday, August 20.

The unofficial rodeo results are in, subject to change. There were quite a few surprises. A few favourites went home empty handed, and a few underdogs got to move up in the standings with a bit of jingle in their jeans to boot.
Note: These are unofficial results, subject to change.
