Make sure you get your tickets now for the PBR's Jack Daniels Invitational to be held at the Sommet Center in Nashville,TN on August 29th and 30th. Tickets are on sale both online and through the Sommet Center's Box Office.
Remember, this is your last chance to see the great 3X PBR World Champion Adriano Moraes ride here in Nashville.Adriano and PBR World Champion Ednei Caminhas are both retiring after the PBR's World Championships this year.I urge all of their fans to come and pay tribute to these wonderful men.They are both great World Champions and great family men. Although I do not know Adriano's plans as yet(I hope to interview my friend this coming weekend) I do know that Ednei is training and showing horses in NRHA.No ,that has nothing to do with auto racing! Its the National reining Horse Association; and Ednei is one of the best trainers and exhibitors.
The PBR has a lot in store for the fans as they open the doors early at the Sommet Center on Friday,August 29th at 6:30 so that the fans can visit the many vendor booths in the concourse where there will be contests,promotions and lots of great souvenirs.On Saturday the 30th the concourse will be opened at 5:20 - 7:50 PM. Prior to that you can visit The Fan Zone on the corner of 5th and Broadway for a meet and greet at 3:30 PM.
As always there will be autograph signing after the event on the arena floor at 10:30.You can meet your favorite riders and even get a chance to take a picture or two.
Friday's after event party will be Nightclub PBR from 10:00PM till 1:30 PM at the Sheraton Nashville Downtown(623 Union Street) presented by Copenhagen Bull riding with activiteis from Las Vegas and Wrangler which include Las Vegas Poker tables where you can enter a drawing to win tickets to the PBR World Finals sponsored by Las Vegas.There will also be Wrangler video replays and PBR trivia contests for prizes.Admission is free but you must be 18 or older.
On Saturday the after event party will be right at 305 Broadway at The Cadillac Ranch where I might even be tempted to try the mechanical bull as my own staff here at CWR Buckin Bulls won't let me try any of my real bulls out!
On August 30th, 2008 from 11:00 AM to1:00PM Cord McCoy and Kody Lostroh will be signing autographs and be available for photos at Lowe's at 1301 Nashville Pike in Gallatin,TN This is sponsored by Troy-Bilt.

Meanwhile Sean Willingham and Ross Coleman will be at Boot Corral , 240 Longhollow Pike,Goodlesttsville,TN from 1:00PM to 2:30 PM .
I just wish they had set-up an autograph session at Graham Ford here in Dickson as they had done several years back.Maybe just a hint to the powers that be that we need something in this area for their fans west of Nashville. Maybe they could set up something in Clarksville also as that is where PBR riders Cory and Evan Rasch lived until they moved to my neck of the woods here in Cumberland Furnace which is just down the road from Clarksville. Cory and Evan have not made it back onto the BFTS tour as yet but I expect to see them back if not after the next cut then early in the 2009 season.They are talented riders and great guys.
