πŸ”₯βͺ THROWBACK THURSDAY β€” PART 9 βͺπŸ”₯In this clip, AHSRA alumni Aubrey Ross talks about the flashy red shirt she wore in Grand Entry as the first princess to AHSRA Queen Kally Wills β€” and laughs about the fact that it was the first time she’s ever rocked fringe. ❀️✨While Aubrey has no plans to run for Queen in the future (despite Auntie Jamie always suggesting she should πŸ˜‰), both she and Steve agree that Miss Kally Wills has done an amazing job representing Alberta at Nationals β€” and that being Queen takes far more work than most people realize.One last clip still incoming β€” stick with us.#AHSRA #ThrowbackThursday #TeamAlberta #NationalsMemories #AHSRAQueen #AHSRAAlumni #RodeoLife #BehindTheScenes #PartNine
πŸ”₯βͺ THROWBACK THURSDAY β€” FINAL PART βͺπŸ”₯In this final clip, Team Alberta’s super fan, Steve Bishell, closes out his last interview β€” and you can hear the emotion in his voice.

After years of supporting, cheering, interviewing, and championing Team Alberta kids, this is his final sign-off.A full-circle moment β€” for Aubrey, for Steve, and for everyone who has been part of this journey.Thank you, Steve and Aubrey, for your years of dedication to AHSRA and for sharing this candid, heartfelt interview with all of us.
And a special thank you from AHSRA to Steve β€” for the countless hours, the unwavering support, and the passion you brought to Team Alberta. 🀍#AHSRA #TeamAlberta #ThrowbackThursday #NationalsMemories #AHSRAAlumni #RodeoFamily #EndOfAnEra #FinalSignOff
