Visit to Headquarters

Well even though the weather hasn't been the greatest and it is raining right now, today's visit to the ABBI and PBR Headquarters was pretty exciting. It was the first time I actually got to come out and kick around the office.

The first thing that tickled my bull fancy is the bronze statue of Little Yellow Jacket under Adriano out front. Of course I've seen the photos but it's even better in person.

The next super cool thing is the receptionists desk when you first walk into the ground floor. It's in the shape of a bull's horn. Didn't get a pic but will try tomorrow.

Up on the PBR floor when you get off the elevators there is a wall dedicated to all the PBR World Champs. Their faces are embossed on leather and signed and framed and each has a bull rope hung next to it. Of course I have dreams of one day seeing something similar for the buckers when you get off the ABBI floor elevator. In the meantime check out the pic.

Well it is time to get headed over to the event but I at least wanted to throw you all a little bone. Keep checking back for pics and updates from the Wild, Wild West Fest.

Wild Wild West Fest Pueblo!!

Well, here we are in Pueblo, Colorado the home of the PBR & ABBI Headquarters and now also the home of the USBBA's new super- svelte magazine the American Bucking Bull. There is so much going on it surely should be Wild, Wild.

Besides all the regular festivities that accompany a BFT event the big highlight for me is the official launch of the new magazine and the televised ABBI Classic competition Saturday night.

Watch for all ABBI Classic competition bulls to be bucking with some new ear-ware identifying them as American Bucking Bulls. The new ear-tags are bright yellow, sport the ABBI logo and should be easy to spot on TV from the bucking chute and arena. It's just one more way the ABBI is working to bring more notoriety to our bovine athletes.

Something else I am looking forward to during the Wild, Wild West Fest here in Pueblo is the activities planned to keep the fans stoked about our buckers. On Sunday at 10 a.m. PBR fans get treated to a tour of the Bull Housing at the State Fairgrounds. Susan and I have some ideas to reward these fans for not just being PBR fans but also for being bucking bull fans =)


Well it's off to Headquarters!


Stay tuned for more from Pueblo.
