I saw this come through and did a double take because… when was the last time we had something like this in Erie?

The Professional Championship Bullriders Boot Barn Invitational is coming to Erie Insurance Arena for one night in April, and it’s not just bull riding. There’s barrel racing, bullfighters, music—it’s a full show … and sounds like an amazing night.

I feel like this is one of those things you go to not totally knowing what to expect, and then your kids are completely into it five minutes in.

Also…it’s something different. We get a lot of the same types of events (which I love), but this is not that.

Kara’s note: I can’t remember the last time a rodeo-style event came through Erie. This feels like one of those “let’s just try it” nights that ends up being way more fun than you expect. Just check out this video: 

If you’re looking for something a little different to do with your kids, this might be it.
