Cowboy Church Service
Sunday, May 23
10:00am in the Stetson Suite
With Rev. Coy Huffman

Reverend Coy Huffman, a tough-as-lumber looking cowboy with a deep mid-west accent, will begin his sermon — one of the inspirational sort — with a prayer of thanks. Less devout riders on horseback will form a Wild-West background as they meander around the ring.

In the Wild West, these cowboy church services were a thread that kept not just families but communities together during difficult times, and a tradition of inclusion that continues to live on today, including at the Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair.

Continuing a long western tradition, ‘Cowboy Church’ is a non-denominational service open to all.

The Cloverdale Rodeo & Country Fair is generously supported by the Marquee Tourism Events Program, one of several tourism-related programs announced in Canada's Economic Action Plan.
