Reigning CBR World Champion Matt Austin has a great time planned for fans,family and friends for the weekend of May 26th and 27th as he puts on the Wal*Mart Invitational Junior Steer Riding and The Matt Austin Invitational Shootout Championship Bull Riding presented by Lone Star Dodge and Longhorn Ford on May 27th at 8 PM at the Austin Arena in Myrtle Springs Texas. The current CBR/PRCA World Champion actually began the festivities back on May 2nd when both he and Sammy Andrews signed autographs at Circle B Western Wear in Canton to promote the event.
The Invitational steer riding is open to riders 14 and under as of January 1, 2006.The first 40 paid entrants ride on Friday night with the top ten returning to ride during the CBR event on Saturday.

There will be a $5000 Bounty Bull featuring the Bodacious son "Bo's Excuse". Bo's Excuse is a chip of the old block and has a 100% buck-off ratio. I am going to love this bull.
