As an addition to the Minot Y’s Men’s PBR, the Y’s Men and partner, 12-time PBR Stock Contractor of the Year Chad Berger, announce the return of the Wild West Rodeo for Special Kids.
Last held in 2019, the Y’s Men look forward to once again featuring this premier event with a new partnership with Prairie Grit Adaptive Sports.
“The Minot Y’s Men’s Organization has one focus — improving the quality of life for area youth through our support of Triangle Y Camp,” said Braden Bosch, chairman of the Minot Y’s Men’s PBR. “The Wild West Rodeo and our partnership with Prairie Grit falls perfectly in line with our purpose.”
Participants will interact with larger-than-life PBR bull riders, bullfighters and Y’s Men as they try their hand at fulfilling their dreams of being true cowboys and cowgirls. Contestants from Prairie Grit Adaptive Sports will participate with the assistance of a partner in eight modified rodeo events. The activities are a reflection of real rodeo events but are specifically patterned for children with exceptional situations. The events give the athletes a feel for everything from roping to barrel racing to riding modified bucking “bulls.”
“We are beyond excited about our partnership with the YMCA and the Y’s Men. The Wild West Rodeo is a unique opportunity our athletes have to show off their outstanding capabilities. The opportunity to interact with the top talent in the PBR is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for these kids,” said Prairie Grit Executive Director Krystal Butgereit. Each child will receive an official T-shirt, bandana, lariat rope, cowboy hat and rodeo number. Upon completion of the events, each child will receive a rodeo trophy and a blue ribbon. An opportunity to pose with their partners for an autographed rodeo photo to commemorate the big day will be included.
The Wild West Rodeo, sponsored by The Hometown Radio Group-WGO, NDAD, Xcel Energy and First Western Bank & Trust, will take place Saturday, Sept. 24, from 10-11 a.m., with check-in starting at 9:30 a.m. in the Minot Municipal Auditorium.The Y’s Men’s PBR will be held on Sept. 23 and 24 at 7 p.m. each night in the auditorium.
