Agribition is one of the biggest agricultural fairs in the world and therefore, a big part of Saskatchewan life and economy. Pace’s cousin’s uncles and grandpa were showing cattle at the show so Shea took Pace down to take in the sights (and smells!) Luckily, Pace didn’t scratch his nose and buy a bison like […]
