WHERE: The Bridge View Center is located at 102 Church Street, Ottumwa, Iowa.
WHY: It’s always a good idea to pair up with friends and community on a Wednesday. And, we know folks will have a barrel of a good time watching the excitement of bull riding…or witnessing a kid get an autograph from a rider. Life’s too short, it’s time to make some “bull-tiful” memories.
Iowa proud: among the competitors are Lane Leeper from Leon, Iowa, and Dalton Krantz from Somers, Iowa.
INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITIES: Onsite interviews are available with BVC Executive Director, Scott Hallgren, this week. Phone interviews with bull riders are also available, as well as on-sight interviews and coverage beginning Thursday, February 5, 9 a.m. The media is invited for both days of the BOA event, including Cowboy Breakfast with The Bulls.
