UPRA Spring Membership Rodeo

There were plenty of competition to open the season, from calf and team roping to bull riding and racing barrels and wagons at the April 19-20 UPRA Spring Rodeo in Hpokins County Regional Civic Center Arena. Some competitiors were relatively new to the sport, some more seasoned participants came from near and far to be part of the action. There were plenty of opportunties for spectators to get involved in calf scrambles, boot challenges, mutton busting, wagon races and more. Those who wanted a small feel of the thrill bullriders experience battling to stay on for upwards of 8 seconds were able to climb atop a mechanical bull. Staff photos by Faith Huffman
