Barriere Star/Journal
The North Thompson Agriplex in Barriere was rockin' to a sold out crowd on New Year's Eve for the third annual Farm Kids Fund Bullarama.
Thirty cowboys turned out to try their hand at riding some of the best bulls in Western Canada, and the bulls almost had them beat. Just three qualified eight second rides by the cowboys in the first go round had spectators wondering if it was going to be a slam dunk for the bulls.
However, cowboys have an innate ability to pick themselves up, dust off their chaps and climb back on to ride, which is exactly what they did in the final round.
Winner of the event was Penticton cowboy Shaun Greenhough (not pictured), taking home just under $2,500 for his efforts to stay on a whirlwind bovine.
