During the 1913 Kelowna Fall Fair, "cowboy sports" During the 1913 Kelowna Fall Fair, "cowboy sports" were a popular attraction held over two days. This belt, along with a $75 prize, was presented by F.R.E. DeHart to Ferdie Brent, who secured first place as a bronco rider. Interestingly, the belt is engraved "Fred" due to a mistake.

According to the Orchard City Record's account of the event, "some of the horses fought most violently, and those who kept their seats triumphantly through the ordeal deserved all the applause they got."

Come visit the Okanagan Heritage Museum to check out our newest exhibit! 'Ranching & Rodeos in the Okanagan' is on now.

Meet Marshall, one of our Programming Associates! Meet Marshall, one of our Programming Associates!
Marshall helps bring local history to life! He uses various interpretive methods to engage school groups, families, and diverse audiences, making history accessible and exciting for everyone. Marshall also helps run military-themed programs and events at the Okanagan Military Museum.

“As an educator I strive to give our guests, particularly students, their ‘AHA! Moment,’ and watching their expression change as everything they’ve learned (or unlearned) starts to click into place. Once they ask a question that requires critical thinking, I know I’ve done my job right.”

Marshall has gained a lot of new knowledge since joining KMS, including from grade schoolers. “I’m all for sharing information, but one time I did have to put the kibosh on a kid who excitedly shared with me a recipe for explosive black powder before he could spread the word to his class. In retrospect, he may have been talking about Minecraft.”
