Rodeo competitors begin showing signs of their future profession during childhood, when it’s still acceptable to ride a bucking sibling and corral merry-go-round horses with licorice ropes. Watch former kiddie cowboys with this deal to the Canadian National College Finals Rodeo at the Edmonton EXPO Centre. For $13, you get two tickets for upper-level seating (a $26.50 value). Seating will be determined on a first-come, first-served basis at the time of redemption. Choose between the following event dates:

• Thursday, March 29, at 6 p.m.
• Friday, March 30, at 6 p.m.<p>

All rodeo tickets will also include complimentary admission to the Northlands Farm and Ranch Show, which will be held Thursday, March 29, through Saturday, March 31, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.

The Edmonton EXPO Centre rumbles beneath the hooves of collegiate competition as budding rodeo stars buck, ride, and wrestle in their pursuit of national glory. Throughout the three-day series, contestants will battle while representing the student-run Canadian Intercollegiate Rodeo Association, which encourages young students prone to lassoing professors to take up rodeo as an extracurricular activity. Six major events kick up dirt each night, including steer wrestling, barrel racing, and bull riding, along with rounds of team roping, goat tying, and pole bending, broken up by a 10-minute intermission halfway through.

Rodeo-goers can also take advantage of complimentary admission to the Northlands Farm and Ranch Show, where more than 400 agriculture exhibits unite to share ideas and unveil industry breakthroughs. This year’s show will feature innovative equipment and technologies gathered from across Canada, as well as seminars that present educational information ideal for keeping apathetic tractors in peak shape.
