HURON — Six South Dakota bull riders attempting to get a jump start on the CBR’s Road to Cheyenne premier bull riding tour will be competing in Huron on Wednesday and Thursday nights against World Champions and top ranked bull riders at the annual Red Wilks Construction Bull Bash in front of the Grandstands at the South Dakota State Fair.
South Dakota bull riders Corey Maier, Timberlake, South Dakota, Kritter Lamb, the 2014 CBR Horizon Series Champion, Trevor Easton, Dylan Madsen, Dylan Rice — all from Wessington Springs and and Kyle Blume of Redfield will compete with the elite of the CBR and you can bet the local fans will be cheering to help them hang on.
The Red Wilk Construction CBR Bull Bash at the South Dakota State Fair will be the first stop on the 2017-18 Road to Cheyenne tour.
The CBR’s season opener is the opening act of the Grandstands and begins at 8 p.m. Wednesday with the second performance on Thursday night.
In addition to the bull riding action, Red Wilk will honor veterans at the American Hero Award ceremony, during an extraordinary intermission rite.
CBR will bring 40 of the best bull riders in the country and pit them against the top bulls on tour to kick off the 2017-2018 Road to Cheyenne nationwide televised tour.
This year is the 12th time CBR has put on the opening show that kicks off the 132 year old State Fair tradition in South Dakota, and also the 12th consecutive year CBR selected the South Dakota State Fair as its first event for the new season.
Night one includes five native South Dakota Bull Riders at the CBR Horizon Series event, which will include a long round and a bounty bull worth $10,000 to the bull rider — if he can hang on for eight seconds.
