BEAUMONT, Texas — If you’re looking for some different family fun this weekend, Ford Park Arena is hosting a bull riding event.
Preparations began Monday at the entertainment center.
The Professional United Bull Riders Association will be hosting the event Friday and Saturday evening. They will be bringing 40 bulls and 30 sheep for the activities.
There will be professional bull riders and mechanical bulls along with mutton busting for kids 5-years-old and under.
"This year we're adding a family event," event manager Donnie Warner said. "The Family Fun Center will be going on during, during the bull ride, and two concerts afterwards. Each night so it'll be a good thing for everybody in the family to attend."
