NEW BULL RIDING EVENT ADDED TO STANISLAUS COUNTY FAIR LINEUP

Bucking bulls, cowboys and specially-trained clowns will be horsing around at the Stanislaus County Fair.
 

Humpz and Hornz Bull Riding will take over the FoodMaxx Arena at the Stanislaus County Fair on Sunday, July 27, at 7 p.m. The all-new event has been added to the Fair’s 10-night lineup and will be hosted by KAT Country 103.  Tickets for reserved seating at the extreme event go on sale on Saturday, May 3, at 10 a.m.  Tickets for the bull riding event are in addition to Fair admission.  For complete ticket details visit www.stancofair.com.
 

“Bull riding is an extremely popular event that has grown to be a sought-after sport by both the competitor and the fan,” said Pennie Rorex, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair. “Organizers Wes and Stacey Ibrahimi are well respected on the bull riding circuit and put on an exciting and entertaining show.”
 

In the sport of bull riding, riders compete to stay on the bull for at least 8 seconds and are scored by two judges.  The bull rider that scores the highest, up to 100 points, wins the competition.
 

The Humpz and Hornz Rodeo Company is based in Le Grand, California.  The Ibrahimis have been producing bull riding events for county fairs for the past 12 years.
 

“Our show is definitely one that people from all walks of life attend and enjoy,” said Wes Ibrahimi. “Our event allows Fair guests to enjoy action-packed entertainment before heading out to the midway for a night full of bright lights and cotton candy.”
