The 2nd Annual New Year’s Eve Bullarama and Dance will be held at the North Thompson Agriplex in Barriere as a fundraiser for the Farm Kids Scholarship Fund.
“It’s a great venue with exciting entertainment. What’s better than watching live bull riding followed by an old time country dance for New Year’s?” said Steven Puhallo, president and founder of the Farm Kids Fund, “This is a great annual event with people from Chilliwack to Prince George coming to ‘buck in’ the New Year.”
The New Year’s Eve Bullarama features bucking bulls from local stock contractor S&E Bucking Bulls, and S&E stock boss Ed Lebourdais says he is proud of the calibre of bucking bulls that will be matched against some of western North America’s best bull riders, “We’ve got bulls that will buck all night and the cowboys better be ready to ride some lightning!”
The event is professionally sanctioned by Bullriders Canada.
“Being professionally sanctioned allows us to attract a high calibre of bull rider. We have some of the best bull riders in North America coming.” said Lebourdais.
