The Western Industry has joined together to raise awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer. The campaign is titled Tough Enough To Wear Pink The colour pink is not normally something you would associate with the tough sport of Rodeo, Wagon Racing and Agriculture Fair Events. The reality is breast cancer has touched the lives of our Western Heritage community and our partners want to put this important health issue top of mind at Agriculture Fairs, Rodeos and Chuckwagon events.
Dawson Creek Exhibition Association was approved to join the Tough Enough To Wear Pink campaign for the 2012 Greatest Show in the Peace.Visit the web site at http://www.toughenoughtowearpink.comand find our event posted with all the other Rodeos and Agriculture Fairs across Canada and the US.
