"While anticipating this first time adventure, my kids and myself were skeptically kept our minds and our hearts open for an adventure. We only wished we had scheduled to return on Sunday. I even heard my sons adoring the riders and my daughters talking about taking up bullriding! Blessings be to the profession, the guys in the ring was amazing and the Citizens Arena for making the arena available and Ford Tough series for bringing this sport to the inland area!"
