Saturday’s big-hit fall rodeo, Boots, Bulls and Barrels, played to a sellout Silver Spurs Arena crowd Saturday night.

Cowboys rode bulls and broncs, and the ladies mounted their fiery horses to whisk around the barrels course in under 16 seconds. It was all to raise funds for the Silver Spurs Riding Club’s scholarship funds and charitable donations.
