Kass Patterson

Born and raised in Calgary, Kass, from a young age, developed a love for learning people's stories and being able to share them with the community (or her family, or whoever would listen). In addition to working in communities like Okotoks and Calgary, Kass has also spent her summers travelling with the World Professional Chuckwagon Association since 2019, to help provide a peek behind the barn door into the world of chuckwagon racing. Outside of work and anything horse related, Kass is a reader and an avid country music fan, and most likely can be found with the biggest cup of coffee possible.
