The BC Cowboy Hall of Fame welcomed several more members at Sunday’s third and final performance of the 28th Annual Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo.

David Maurice of Riske Creek (working cowboy), Charlie Brous of Soda Creek (competitive achievements), the Joe Schuk family (family) and Mike Jasper and Pat Jasper (working cowboys) were honoured in front of family, friends, and the sold-out rodeo crowd in attendance at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex to kick off Sunday’s rodeo.

“You are the ones who’ve made this way of life possible for all of us,” said BC Cowboy Heritage Society president Mark McMillan, addressing the inductees.

“We’re honoured to have you a part of the BC Cowboy Hall of Fame.”

Inductees gathered at the Williams Lake Seniors Activity Centre Sunday morning prior to the rodeo for a brunch, where family and friends mingled prior to the rodeo before setting off on a wagon ride for the ceremony.
