Pony Rides- 

Nearly all kids love pony rides, and these are hand-guided rides on ponies that have sweet dispositions that are perfect for kids. Plus, your kids can feed them treats, brush them and even help tie ribbons in their manes.

Tuesday July 29th- Noon to 9pm 

Wednesday July 30th- 10am-9pm 

Thursday July 31st- 10am-9pm 

Mechanical Bull Riding- 

No matter if you’ve ridden before or you’re a first timer, the mechanical bull is ideal for kids and adults alike. This is a controlled, safe environment and offers high energy fun for everyone. This bull is designed to portray life like movements from real bulls, not just spinning and bucking but tilting as well. 

For youngsters they’ll enjoy the ride, while older, more experienced bull riders will attempt to live up to the challenge of trying to hang on for the ride. 

The Bull will be offering rides: 

Friday August 1st from 10am-9pm 

Saturday August 2nd from 10am-9pm 

Sunday August 3rd from 10am-5pm
