BFO World Champion Mansell Shaves Points O the Beard

By Meg Wall-Wild

Grab that Hooey hat signed by 2022 Sequoia Cup and Bull Fighters Only World Champion Tyler Mansell and see if he repeats the win and the autograph. Will Weston Rut- kowski get beardly revenge? Add in Aaron Mercer for an awesome dust up. Who will take home the Sequoia Cup? Gates open at 5 p.m. on Friday, July 14, for a night of untamed rides (bull and quad), rough riders and wild music starting at 7 p.m. For aromatic excitement, cool your heels in the VIP Smell the Bull Zone. Tickets are $25, $15 for kids 12 and under, $50 for the Bull Zone, available online or with cash at the gate.

Quadiators gird their loins for battle as you fidget in your seat. Batons waving, they circle, waiting for an opening to whack the balloon on their opponents’ helmets. The arena transforms as machines and crowds roar in unison. The fight is on! Combatants can register from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Text your name and number to

(707) 496-1055 or (707) 496-6038. For a paltry $40 entry fee, you could win $500 and bragging rights. Make sure your twoperson team downloads the liability form (fortunarodeo.com/quadiators-entries) because all good fun comes with small print. Got the cowboy blues? You need The Remedy! It doesn’t matter whether your Justins are ropers or classics, you can boot scoot just the same. Bring a partner because the “California Cha Cha” is more fun with two. Music starts after the bulls and quads are corralled for the night. ✪
