Brewton residents turned out in cowboy hats and boots Friday night for the sixth annual Brewton Chamber of Commerce PCA Rodeo.
Gates opened at 6 p.m., with rodeo events getting underway around 8 p.m. Cowboys and cowgirls from across the region came to compete, hoping for a spot in the PCA rodeo finals.
Brewton Chamber of Commerce Director Clay Lisenby said the event has grown each year since it began six years ago.
‘We’ve come a long way with the support of the city council and mayor of Brewton to help get this facility built,’ Lisenby said. ‘We are in our sixth year and it grows a little each year. It’s family fun entertainment. There aren’t many rodeos of this class in the immediate area. We’ve got beautiful weather here this weekend. Lots of great food.’
In addition to the professional riders, this year’s rodeo brought back its Mutton Busting event, where the youngest cowhands ride sheep out of the bucking chute.
