PHA's Secretary Faye Soucy is excited to watch the races and gives us a sneak peek to what's in store for the weekend.
"We'll be having our chariot races at 3 o'clock on Saturday, and 6 o'clock for chucks, we'll have a petting zoo coming out, we're going to have a really fun jam session for everyone to take part in and then on Sunday, we'll have chariots running at 1'o clock and chucks running at 3"
Soucy notes that in her opinion, the chuckwagon races are the big-ticket event.
"every wagon has 4 horses running on it, and it always brings a lot of energy and activity to the races, but it's not to say the chariots aren't a lot of fun too. We have 2 horses per chariot, but chucks are usually the biggest draw."
There's certainly a lot happening this weekend in the parkland, but if you're looking for real horse-power, The Chucks and Chariots Races in Ste. Rose Will be the place to be!
