Rod Hok

The western lifestyle and sport of rodeo has always been an important part of Rod Hok’s life, it encompasses who he is. Having grown up on a large working ranch it was the way of life. Rod was on a horse working cattle from a young age, and riding calves in the branding pen lit a fire in him that has yet to be extinguished. He has been involved in rodeo all of his life in one way or another; as a competitor, volunteer, proud father, judge, chairman, arena director, and supporter. Rod moved to Wetaskiwin in 1978 and immediately joined the Wetaskiwin Agricultural Society eager to immerse himself in the community. He has been involved with the Wetaskiwin Rawhide Rodeo since its beginning in 1999 and continues to promote the growth and betterment of the sport of rodeo in its entirety.

Donald Forth

Once a volunteer, always a volunteer” pretty well describes Don Forth’s life.  As a young father he started out coaching his son’s hockey teams. He then became a hockey referee officiating youth and then “old timers".  Don was always interested in stock car racing and in 1968 he was part of the founding group of the Wetaskiwin Stock Car Club (WSCC). That year the club built the Sunset Speedway just west of Wetaskiwin and Don has been involved at the race track ever since.  Don also coached youth bowling for 32 years and still volunteers his time at Western Lanes.  Besides that he also donates his time to the Wetaskiwin Icemen Hockey Club.  It is because of his varied and enduring volunteer efforts in our community that Don is being inducted into the Wetaskiwin & County Sports Hall of Fame.
