Ashley Watt of Vermilion can’t help but groan as the rope bounces off the top of the calf’s head during the Ladies Breakaway Roping event at the Hanna Indoor Pro Rodeo on Sept. 13. The two day event was well attended by locals and fellow Albertans who enjoyed many other events, such as a BBQ, street market, chili cook off and a Western Trade Show.
