Chuckwagon drivers set to ride for Meadow Lake minor hockey
As the weekend approaches, chuckwagon riders are preparing to come together to raise money for local minor hockey.
On June 19-20, Canadian Professional Chuckwagon Association (CPCA) and World Professional Chuckwagon Association (WPCA) drivers are expected to gather at the Meadow Lake Stampede Grounds for a chuckwagon fun run. The event will be open to the public, and while there is no charge for attending, donations to the Meadow Lake Minor Hockey Association are encouraged.
The money is intended to help the organization in its recovery from the recent fire that destroyed Meadow Lake & District Arena.
Chuckwagon driver DJ King shared the event on Facebook earlier in the week. In an interview with meadowlakeNOW, he mentioned the former arena was a crucial part of his life and many youth and residents in the community. He added the arena was considered a second home by many.
