Westside Daze has added a ѻýstrongѻý attraction to this yearѻýs fair.

Locally-sourced ѻýOkanagan Strongѻý wrestlers from Big West Wrestling will provide two shows during their first-ever appearance at the festival on July 13.

Marty Solotki said that adding shows to Westside Daze will help grow the sport in the Okanagan.

ѻýItѻýs a fun little fair,ѻý Solotki said, ѻýand weѻýre getting the word out there about local wrestling.

ѻýWeѻýre hoping that West Kelowna can be a regular town on the playing circuit overall.ѻý

Solotki said they had a stroke of good luck by getting accepted into this yearѻýs Westside Daze line-up of attractions. The owner of Big West Wrestling has been involved in the local wrestling scene since 2008.

With popular turn-outs at Rutlandѻýs May Days and other spots throughout the Okanagan, Solotki has been part of the hard-working local scene looking to grow wrestling from a three to four event per year event, to a three to four event per month event.

ѻýAt a fair where people are walking around and having fun, we can put eyes on our product and grow the sport,ѻý said Solotki.

The two shows will feature an eight-person tournament for the Okanagan Cup, and a shot for the winner to go on to be the number-one-contender for the Big West Championship show in September.

Solotki said the first-ever Big West show at the fair will be a good one.

ѻýWeѻýre looking forward to Westside Daze and giving the fans there a treat.ѻý
