Bulls, broncs to storm Thunderbird Arena

By WESLEY REMMER

S

not-blowing bulls and bucking broncos will soon thunder through Thunderbird Arena.

The Kitsap County Fair and Stampede returns Aug. 25-29, bringing some of the nation’s top rodeo talent to Bremerton for a five-day event that will culminate with the ESPN-televised Xtreme Bulls competition.

Action gets underway Aug. 25 for the first day of the Stampede, which for the past five years has been nominated for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Rodeo of the Year.

The Stampede, beginning at 7 p.m. each day through Aug. 28, features bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, calf roping, steer wrestling, barrel racing and team roping, among others.

The Stampede is an official tour stop on the Wrangler Million Dollar PRCA Silver Rodeo Tour.

The professional tour is divided between two divisions — “gold” and “silver” — based on the the size of the purse. The Stampede is one of 17 tour stops, according to the Kitsap Stampede website.

On the final day of the Stampede, Aug. 28, the arena will be filled with pink for the “Are you Tough Enough to Wear Pink?” fundraiser, raising money for breast cancer awareness. Fans are encouraged to show their support by wearing pink. Pink merchandise will be sold at the arena,

File photos

as will raffle tickets, with prizes including quilts, bead necklaces, gift baskets and gift certificates.

But perhaps the biggest draw for fans during the Stampede is the Xtreme Bulls event, which is at 1 p.m. Sunday. Xtreme Bulls will be televised on ESPN on tape delay, airing at 11 a.m. Sept. 19 on ESPN2, 8 p.m. Oct. 8 on ESPN Classic and 1 p.m. Nov. 7 on ESPN Classic.

Bremerton is the ninth stop of 10 on the 2010 Xtreme Bulls Tour, which ends Sept. 4 in Ellensburg.

The tour also stopped in Florida, Texas, Nevada and Wyoming.
