After a successful first year as being the home of the Canadian Cowboys Association Novice Finals the Harvest Showdown Rodeo was once again the home of the final round to determine the best up and coming bull riders in Canada over the weekend. With the Farrell Agencies arena packed to full capacity the young cowboys were treated to an electric championship atmosphere as the Yorkton Exhibition hosted yet another successful edition of the Harvest Showdown.
The highlight of the Novice Finals was the performance of Langenburg's Danny Vandenameele who took home the 2013 CCA Novice Final Trophy in Bareback with scores of 71, 67, 63 edging out Esterhazy's Mason Helmeczi who posted scores of 59, 65, 65. Austin Ireland of Biggar took home the bull riding honours edging out JB Moen of Elrose while Cody Resch of Leader, Saskatchewan won the Saddle Bronc Novice trophy for 2013.
Yorkton's Brad Dyck finished second in the Barceback competition in non-Novice Finals action.
