World-renowned bull riders descend on N.B.
Champion bull riders from all over the world came to the Battlefords to entertain spectators with their death-defying brand of athletics.
The third annual Professional Bullriders Association (PBR) Classic returned to North Battleford’s Civic Centre on Thursday, July 28. More than 30 riders competed, including bull riders and junior steer riders.
Corey Chmelnyk, who organized the event, said this is a great opportunity to bring a professional sport to the Battlefords. He said the riders and bulls are world-class, many of which just competed in the Calgary Stampede.
Proceeds from the event went towards the construction of a new Battlefords Trade and Education Centre building.
