MANHATTAN (KSNT) – The brand-new Bilbrey Family Center in Manhattan is opening its doors to professional competition for the first time this weekend.
Crews spent the day leveling the arena floor in preparation for the inaugural Little Apple Xtreme Bulls event. This competition will bring professional riders to the arena this weekend.
Since opening, the event center has hosted many Kansas State University rodeos, but this will be the first time professionals will compete.
“We know that there are 55 riders that are coming to ride a bull every night, which is both Friday and Saturday nights,” said Marcia Rozell, executive director of Visit Manhattan. “They also have some social media that they’re putting out information about their riders so that you can learn about who’s riding on the bulls.”
Headstones knocked over, damaged at Manhattan cemetery
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13 and Saturday, Nov. 14. The event starts at 8 p.m.
