THIS AIN'T NO BULL
Princeton Rodeo Club will host their first ever BCPB Similco Bull-A-Rama event starting at 5:30 PM, Friday, May 12th at Princeton Fairgrounds.
The event will feature between 30 and 40 of the hottest bullriders in the circuit and the Rodeo Club has come up with an interesting program to help support the event participants.
Brenda Engel has put together an 'Adopt A Cowboy' package that will give sponsors a 5-inch window decal, an adoption certificate, and an 8x10 photo with their adopted cowboy.
The package is valued at $100.00 per cowboy and as an added bonus, the sponsor who adopts the winning cowboy will receive an 8-inch acrylic trophy to take home. Sponsor names will also be announced at the event.
Signz.ca and Bryan Smith Photography have generously provided their support of the program and a portion of the sponsorship money collected will be used to cover part of the bullriders expenses in entering the local event.
Engel says there have already been some cowboys 'adopted' in this limited time offer.
