Bulls and Broncs Saturday

This year's pre-concert Trail Days event "Bulls and Broncs" will begin at 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 8 at the Trail Days Arena in Ipswich. And it will for the fourth straight year include both saddle-bronc and bull-riding competitions.

The action indeed all starts with the Calcutta at 4 p.m., which provides an opportunity for the crowd to bet on the contestants and how well they will fare. There will be calcutta auctioning for both bulls and broncs.

The National Anthem will be sung by Tessa Kilber of Ipswich. Jason Frey will be the 2019 Announcer and Auctioneer, while the ride judges are William Davey and Cody Burkhulder. The Pickup Men this year are TK Sampson and Luke Newsam. Meanwhile, Matt Reindl and Gus Kronberg are this year's Bull Fighters.

There will also be a candy scramble sponsored by PM Repair for the kids in your family and special events for the adults.

All this fun will be followed by even more entertainment, the concerts in the nearby stage, scheduled for a little later in the evening.
