The Highridge & District Agricultural Society is a non-profit in the Highridge district that owns and operates the Highridge Hall, along with rodeo grounds, an outdoor skating rink, a camping area, and a playground. The hall is out on a rural road east of Barrhead and carries a Pickardville mailing address. The society puts on a run of annual events through the year and supports local farmers and businesses, making the hall one of the main gathering spots for the district.
MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the Highridge Ag Society as part of its community partnership program, so anyone at a rodeo, a hall rental, or a skating rink session can get online without relying on cellular coverage that thins out well outside town. It is one of several MCSnet sponsored hotspots in Westlock County, alongside the Busby Community League, the Fawcett Community Hall and Arena, and the Westlock Community Hall.

Highridge sits well outside Pickardville and Barrhead, in an area where cell service can be spotty for the farm families who use the hall, rodeo grounds, and skating rink. A free Wi-Fi connection there means volunteers running an event, or anyone stopping by, has a dependable way to get online.
