Tickets go on Sale Saturday.... and I rode a mechanical bull!!!!

In the spirit of the Stanislaus County Fair’s motorsports and bull riding tickets going on sale this Saturday, we visited opening day of the Spring Fair in Los Banos yesterday.
As we were strolling their beautiful fairgrounds, there he was—a mechanical bull in my midst.
I paused. I pondered. And then I decided to take it upon myself to follow up on a previous blog and attempt a wild ride on a mechanical bull. I knew deep down in my heart I was hardcore enough, so I did it. I signed the bull master’s little release form, climbed on and held on tight! I was surprised at how long I was able to stay on; there are pictures and a video to come.
Even more exhilarating will be the real deal—the Humpz and Hornz bull riding event is coming to the Stanislaus County Fair. You’ll want to buy your tickets early to snag the best reserved seats.
So, here’s my reminder to you...Stanislaus County Fair FoodMaxx Arena event tickets go on sale THIS Saturday, May 3 at 10 a.m.
I’ll see you at the Fair—July 25 to Aug. 3, 2008. I’ll be the one in the big pink sunglasses, but I wont’ be riding a real bull, I’ll be driving a staff golf cart. Hang on!
