CLASSIC PRO RODEO HEADING INTO TOWN

The Fort Bend County Fair will be hosting a PRCA Rodeo September 30th and October 1st. This year we are proud to welcome a stock contractor, Classic Pro Rodeo back for a second year. This is definitely not their first rodeo! Scotty Lovelace has won Stock Contractor of the Year as well as having stock qualify for the National Final Rodeo in Vegas for numerous years.

Classic Pro Rodeo features the latest innovations while maintaining the “Spirit of the Old West”. Their goal is to produce a high energy event that will entertain all ages. Professional Cowboys and Cowgirls will be competing in seven breath-taking events ---- Bull Riding, Bareback Riding, Saddle Bronc Riding, Steer Wrestling, Calf Roping, Team Roping and Barrel Racing. Amanda Paine of One Arm Bandit and Gizmo will be ready to entertain the crowds as well and according to stock producer Scotty Lovelace, “From the crack of the first latch until the dust settles, we will keep you on the edge of your seat with the finest livestock in the world”.

Brad Bowman, Director in Charge of the PRCA Rodeo stated that the rodeo committee has been working hard to bring one of the best rodeos to our event. Bowman said, “We are thrilled to have Classic Pro Rodeo as this year’s stock contractor. Scotty has some of the best bucking stock and one of the most entertaining rodeos on the National Circuit. Rodeo Committee Chairman John Hendrick commented “I am extremely excited about the size of the rodeo this year! Our rough stock events are larger than we have had in recent memory. Our timed events are up as well. It is definitely the largest Professional Rodeo we have ever had! The entertainment during the rodeo is second to none. Definitely a must to attend for fair and rodeo fans alike!” Rodeo fans are sure to be on the edge of their seats when Troy Lerwill aka The Wild Child hits the arena with his funny motorcycle antics. Don’t be surprised if he flies through the air on his dirt bike over his truck and trailer.

In addition to the PRCA Rodeo, there will be a calf scramble and mutton bustin’ for the little wranglers. The Fort Bend County Fair in conjunction with the PRCA is asking the rodeo contestants and fans to show they are “Tough Enough to Wear Pink” and wear a pink shirt on Saturday, October 1st in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month. A special presentation will be made to the American Cancer Society from the Fort Bend County Fair Association prior to the performance. Due to the popularity of the Bull Riding and Mutton Bustin’, we have extended the rodeo action one more day. On Sunday, October 2nd rodeo fans will be treated to a matinee performance of PRCA Bull Riding and Mutton Bustin’.

This is definitely one event you don’t want to miss at the 75th Annual Fort Bend County Fair. PRCA Rodeo action, Friday, September 30th and Saturday, October 1st at 7:30 pm in the O.D. Tucker Arena and don’t forget about the Sunday, October 2nd at 2:00 pm with the PRCA Bull Bash and Mutton Bustin’.
