Mother Nature threw us another curveball causing us to reschedule our bull ride (a first for us)! We were a little skeptical about what the new date would bring, but you all showed up for a fun night of bull riding! The Binford Area Event Group would like to thank everyone who attended the 2023 Binford PBR Challenger Series event!
Sponsors, we cannot thank you enough for your continued support! We would not be able to do this without you! We ask everyone to pop in & thank them for their support and let them know how much they are appreciated!
Thank you to those of you who helped with set up, clean up, ambulance, programs, banners, the concessions stand, our food & clothing vendors, parking lot attendants, gate people, photographers, heavy equipment & machines, ticket sales, auctioning, law enforcement, media, beer gardens, bartenders, portable toilets & hand washing stations, panels, loading chutes and the many other jobs that it takes to pull this event off! It is GREATLY APPRECIATED and it really does take a village!
Thank you to Cooper Catering & crew for cooking and feeding our VIP group, Binford Grocery for ordering in our food & supplies (Bonnie Skaufel...you are a treasure!), Valley Meats for making our brats, David Brandt for providing lodging at the hunting camp for some of our PBR crew, Bruce & Julie Sedler and Warren & Nancy Southward for lending us pasture land for parking & camping, Schwan Wholesale and Jerome's Wholesale for the VIP beverages.
Thank you to Cody Hoyt for wiring our new building and supplying us with panels, to Willis & Nathan from Cleary Building for putting up our new building. Yes folks, it was just the two of them & they did an amazing job!
Gilbertsons...where do we even begin to thank you for all that you do for us?! We appreciate the use of your equipment, letting the guys use your shop for all of the projects that need to be done during the year, for doing all the dirt work for the new building and for always having the supplies we need to get the job done! (Not to mention the many hours of man power!)
Thank you to all of the businesses that sell tickets in advance for us - we sure appreciate you!
We'd like to give a special "thank you" to Kelly Hawkinson (PBR Secretary) and Clint Adkins (our announcer....who did a great job all around), Jake Narducci (music), Taryl Smith (Safety Man), Richard Wayne Ratley, Eli Sharkey & Jonathan Osten (bull fighters), Duane Smith & Griff Martinez (judges) and Pauer Sound (speakers). Thank you to Chad Berger Bucking Bulls for bringing a great set of bulls & for everything you do for us. Thank you to Cross 7 Bucking Bulls for bringing bulls as well (Bailey, you are doing a great job!). A BIG thank you to Adam Libby Productions for making everything run so smoothly (and for putting up with our endless questions & phone calls).
A great big thank you goes to our families, friends & many volunteers that come together to make this event possible! We can never tell you enough how much we appreciate all that you do before, during and after the bull ride!
Our final "thank you" always goes to the fans....you are the reason we keep doing this! We hope you all enjoyed this year's bull ride (and thanks for hanging in there with us while we rescheduled). We are ready to start planning for 2024. (Our tentative date will be Saturday, June 22nd, 2024.)
We apologize if we left anyone out...please know it wasn't intentional & we appreciate you! Thank you!
