November 5-9: Rexall Place presents the Canadian Finals Rodeo 2008. The rodeo takes over Edmonton, bringing together the country's top cowboys to compete for their piece of a $1 million purse.  They will wrestle steers, rope cattle, and race around barrels at break-neck speeds, and battle bucking broncos and bulls for the chance to take home the buckle of a champion.  It is the wildest ride in the west. For more information and/or tickets call 780-471-7136 or visit canadianfinalsrodeo.ca.
