[edit] Additional Unique Feature of Area
Symons Valley is also the name of a rustic, cowboy-themed "ranch" in the area. Started in 1968, Symons Valley Ranch now includes a BBQ restaurant, campground with RV hookups, and rodeo arena. The facility is often rented to community groups. One of the most unusual events at Symons Valley Ranch is the Canadian Rockies International Rodeo, Canada's only gay & lesbian rodeo. This annual event is hosted by ARGRA, the Alberta Rockies Gay Rodeo Association, and attracts some 4,000 participants from the Calgary region and across North America. The rodeo is a member of the International Gay Rodeo Association (IGRA).
