On January 18, a number of LCM members and friends journeyed to the T. Ed Garrison Arena for a evening full of cowboys, horses, bulls and riders. The Southeastern Championship Bull Riding was a two day event comprised of 35 riders from across the South Carolina and surrounding states, competing for the title and prizes. After watching a couple of riders tackle broncos (horses), the bull riding began which was complete with many close calls, a few eight second rides, and one broken leg all while being "entertained" by one very interesting clown. In addition to bull riding, a few individuals also competed in barrel racing in the cloverleaf pattern. The evening concluded with a intriguing event of cowboy pinball which was where people from the audience stand in small individual circles while a bull in let out among them. The last person who successfully stayed in his/her circle for the entire time is the winner of a cash prize. We had a great time spending time with friends and for many this was their first rodeo experience but not we can say next time, "This isn't my first rodeo!"
