The O'Keefe Ranch is thrilled with a 75-hundred dollar grant from the Federal Government to support next weekend's Cowboy Festival. Ranch Manager, Tom Danyk says it is the first time they've applied for federal money.... "The money that was awarded to us was specifically targeted for the Cowboy festival which is held here for the past 16 years. It's a celebration of BC Ranching history. Danyk says they applied for 25-thousand dollars because they wanted to add a re-enactment of a pony express ride from Kamloops to the Ranch. He's hoping for a corporate sponsor so the event can go ahead next year.
