Sunland Park Tuff Hedeman West Texas Shoot Out Preview

If you are in the El Paso Texas area tonight make sure you go to the Sunland Park Tuff Hedeman's West Texas Shoot Out at the El Paso County Coliseum.  General Admission is  only $15  with reserved seats running at :$25,$35,$50 and $75. You can be sure of a great night of fun and excitement at Tuff's CBR events. He brings in top riders as Matt Austin,Cody Hancock, Travis Sellers  and fan favorite Adam Carrillo.Ronnie Kitchens  is slated to be there as  are Wesley Silcox,Klee Jones, Clint Craig,Clayton Williams,Jason McClain, Zeb Lanaham,Shawn Coleman, and just so many others.
Among the bulls  there  will be  Little Locomotive,Tickle Me Elmo,Hitchhiker,El Lobo, Snortin Horton,Cat Daddy,Law Dog and Super Fly in round one.
Sunland Park played a big part in Tuff's adolescent years as his parents both worked there and  he used to work as a groom and  exercise boy there. Although his mother carrie dTuff and Roach to rodeos as 5'4" and only 110 pounds he was slated to become a jockey.Then he grew and we were blessed with one of the greatest bull riding talents to ever come down the pike.
Another El Paso native who returns home tonight is Carhartt Bull Fighter Ray Clary. Ray loves what he does in spite of all the injuries he has suffered over the past fifteen years. Ray,who lives in Diboll,Texas with his 16 year old son Audy who is coming on strong in baseball, also works for Lufkin Ranch and Rodeo and Cordell and Loudamy. Ray has a really full schedule with his positions as a CBR Bull Fighter and CBR Arena manager plus little league  baseball coach. But what the CBR does not tell you,I will. Ray could make it in Nashville anyday.That man plays a good guitar , writes great traditional country songs and can do lead or back-up vocals. He  and my traveling partner/photographer Teri Lann did some great duets when we were all in Gallup last summer.
The CBR now has some great fan merchandise including new fleece jackets.T-shirts,ball caps,skull cap "Beanies," and sandwich-bill caps.They even have toddler sizes in their royal blue T's.
The next CBR event will be the CBR Bull Bash in Lufkin,Texas on February 25th
