Achievements
What an honor to ride out into the infield at the Calgary Stampede with President, Dana Peers, and Stampede Riders! This photo, taken in 2019, represents 25 years with the Calgary Stampede in various capacities. It was very special to be recognized as a woman who has played a small part in The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth!
Performance Art is something Carolyn does primarily as a fundraiser for charities including Spruce Meadows Leg Up Foundation, PARDS (Peace Area Riding for the Disabled) and Grande Prairie SPCA.
In September 2017, Carolyn teamed up with Spruce Meadows and Jody Skinner for an exclusive Canada 150 evening of performance art, along with an art exhibition and sale, with a percentage of proceeds donated to The Leg Up Foundation
