The Marwayne Arena was ablaze with excitement on April 12th as bull riding enthusiasts and supporters gathered for the highly anticipated 12th Annual Marwayne Professional Bull Riders Canada event. Presented by GMACK Oilfield Services and Terry Hines Livestock, Custom Seeding and Farming, the evening not only brought heart-pounding action but also served as a crucial fundraiser for the Marwayne Arena Board.

The annual event drew crowds eager for an electrifying evening, all in support of essential upgrades for the arena. Funds raised during the event are earmarked for improvements, including the much-needed ice plant, arena boards, cement, and piping.

The festivities commenced at 6:30 p.m. with the adrenaline-fueled Wild Pony Races, setting the tone for an evening of thrills and spills. Attendees cheered on as daring riders vied for victory in this exhilarating spectacle.

The main event, the Professional Bull Riders Canada competition, commenced at 7 p.m., captivating the audience with its raw energy and skillful displays of athleticism. Riders braved the formidable beasts, showcasing their courage and determination in pursuit of glory.

As the action unfolded, attendees had the opportunity to indulge in delicious bites from the on-site food booth, ensuring that no one went hungry amidst the excitement. From savory snacks to satisfying meals, the Marwayne Arena Board ensured that culinary delights were readily available.

For those feeling lucky, raffle draw tickets were on sale, offering the chance to win enticing prizes. The early bird draw, featuring a grand prize of $2,500, added an extra layer of excitement to the event. Moreover, the winner was entered back into the additional draws scheduled for June, including cash prizes and a travel voucher, making the event even more rewarding for attendees.

As the evening progressed, the sounds of live music filled the air, courtesy of the Prairie Dogs. Attendees danced the night away, reveling in the infectious rhythms and vibrant atmosphere. Admission to the music event was priced at $20, offering attendees the chance to continue the festivities long after the bull riding competition concluded.

For out-of-town attendees, the Marwayne Arena Board arranged transportation via Lens Party Bus, ensuring that everyone could join in the dance portion of the event without worrying about logistics and having a safe means of transportation back to Vermilion.

Tickets for the PBR were priced at $30 for adults, with children aged 12 and under enjoying free admission, making it a family-friendly evening suitable for all ages.

The success of the 12th Annual Marwayne PBR not only showcased the talent of bull riders but also demonstrated the unwavering support of the community in rallying behind a worthy cause.
