Two Alberta groups received $10,000 each from Rocky Mountain Equipment’s ‘Right by You’ funding program for ag societies.

The Marwayne Ag Society is using its grant to purchase a new hockey score clock for its arena while the Drumheller Stampede and Agricultural Society will build an 18-basket disc golf course, which it describes as “a low-cost sport with low barriers to everyone who wants to play.”

Two other ag societies (in Melfort, Sask. and Hamiota, Man.) also received $10,000 grants.
