Melissa Thiessen, from Quesnel originally, will be in both the Ladies Breakaway Roping and the Ladies Barrel Racing.
Brooke and Lane Wills, also formerly of Quesnel, will also be in the barrels along with Mariah Mannering of Quesnel and Kirsty White from 150 Mile.
Tie Down Roping, Steer Wrestling and Team Roping are also on the docket for this morning.
The opening performance of this year’s Stampede is set for tonight at 6-45.
