Jason Michael Carroll
Friday September 5, 2008, Show with Joe Nichols starts at 8PM

Professional Bull Riding Invitational
Saturday August 30, 2008, Show starts at 7:30PM

Bull riding, which is intentionally climbing on the back of a 2,000-pound bull, emerged from the fearless and possibly fool-hardy nature of the cowboy. The risks are obvious. Serious injury is always a possibility for those fearless enough to sit astride an animal that literally weighs a ton and is usually equipped with dangerous horns. Come enjoy one of the most extreme of all sports.
