Raymond Rodeo Grandstand X-Section

3D Model

The Town of Raymond was founded in 1901 by Jesse Knight, who named it after his first son Raymond. Ray Knight funded and promoted Canada’s first ever stampede in Raymond in 1902. This stampede was so successful that it inspired similar events in other areas of Alberta such as the infamous Calgary Stampede. The Raymond Stampede will be hosted in this location for the last time in July 2023, after which it will be moved to north of the town. This cut away of the grandstand shows the underlying structure.
