The Millarville Chuckwagons, Chariots & Bulls Under the Lights 2024 ran Sept. 6-8 at the Millarville Racetrack, featuring the Alberta Professional Chuckwagon and Chariot Association (APCCA) Finals and Bull Riders Canada’s Bulls Under the Lights.

Two members of the Siksika Nation, Cody Big Tobacco and Travis Mcguire, took part in an intense Indian relay race during the Sept. 7 event — the two talented riders were featured in the Sundance Film Festival award-winning 2018 documentary Fast Horse. 

Proceeds from the event will go towards three local charities this year: the Oilfields Food Bank, Heaven Can Wait and 4H clubs in the Millarville area.
