Above is the screenshot from this page about the Rainmaker Rodeo this weekend in St. Albert:
Rodeo Announcer Emery Erickson comes to us from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan bringing with him a long list of accomplishments.I'm sorry, I just couldn't let it pass without making one small change...
2007 marks the 25th anniversary of his announcing career. In this time he has been chosen for over 100 finals in 21 various associations across Canada, the United States and Australia. In fact, three times he was chosen to host the Australian Professional Rodeo Finals, and for the past five years he has hosted the Badlands PBR Circuit Finals in the United States.
Emery is the only announcer in the world to have announced major finals in three countries.
He grew up on rodeo and cowboying on a PFRA pasture, so eight years as a bull rider came naturally. His enthusiastic commentary is truly genuine from his lifelong experiences.
Holly Erickson provides complete digital music coordination on dual laptops throughout the performance. This music provides pageantry, professionalism and excitement to our rodeo events. Her job is to match the music to the moment. Together, their knowledge and expertise allows them to make a performance into a 'production'.
