Today Bruce tells us about the South Okanagan's "ranching roots" and how the rodeo came from it.

Like Seinfeld, Friends, Cheers and many other sitcoms...this will have a HUGE audience including me.

I've enjoyed this show from the beginning and it will tough to see it go...but life goes on!

RYAN STARTED THE FIRE! Love that line.
