BIG GAP 100

BIG GAP 100 Big Gap Centennial 2017 is 12 plus miles of wagon trekking and trail riding, old time demonstrations, cowboy poetry, supper, dance, beer gardens and more.

Big Gap is a celebration of days gone by. 100 years ago in the Neutral Hills in the big gap where First Nations would camp a stampede took place. Not just any stampede! Dignitaries from all over the province of Alberta descended upon what we know as Big Gap. The stampede ran for four years and peaked in 1919 with 15, 000 people in attendance. To commemorate this time in history, we are hosting a w

agon trek and trail ride through the scenic Neutral Hills. You will be riding a trail that offers majestic views of East Central Alberta not accessible on a daily basis to visitors. It is a unique and rare opportunity to showcase our history. A Big Gap Nugget information has been taken from The Big Gap Round - Up Historical Cairn and Commemorative Ceremony Program of June 15, 1974.

This year we have been promoting the ride as a fundraiser. By 'we' I mean East Central Housing Society aka ECHS.
ECHS has been working to raise money for over ten years to build a new Community and Seniors Centre as the old Seniors Recreation Centre was actually condemned. The plans were pared down from the original drawings, and this year we saw our dream become a reality.
Just wanted to let you know where the Big Gap 100 Wagon Trek & Trail Ride fundraising dollars go and to say THANK YOU for helping us. We truly appreciate every dollar that has been raised for this project.
Happy Trails!

Thank you Canadian Cowboy Country Magazine for the mention! We had so much fun organizing the ride that we are planning to do it again on July 8, 2017. It will feature the same great western hospitality that we displayed at the Centennial ride with a few changes. Thank you as well to Norbert Stoll for the photo and Josh Michaud for bringing his stage coach and crew of outriders. See y'all in July 2017!
