We at MinnesotaCountry.com were brought on board help promote this big event along with the after party featuring all of the great live music as well! We must say, we’re certainly thankful and glad we did! Most of all, we’re glad we traveled up North to be there for all of the fun, and to see how great of an event it was as well!
Thousands of fans entered the gates throughout the three day event to see top ranked bulls and bull riders, enjoy time with their families, check out some of the great vendors, and have an all around great time with friends and family.
Following the bull ride each night, the after party kicked off immediately, sending folks up the hill to the after party area where all of the music would take place.
Thursday night, Monny Ray & The Triple Trouble kicked off the music with a great tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughn. Following them, The Ultimate Freebird Tribute Band took the stage playing some of the best Lynard Skynard music. This was a great way to end the day, and also a great way to build up the excitement for the next two days of entertainment!
Friday night, Mitch Gordon and The Unleaded Band kicked things off on the side stage. With their great sound and the familiar tunes of everyone’s favorite country music, the crowd started building up immediately! National artist Josh Thompson then played the main stage and put on an as always great show which kept the crowd building up even more! After his great performance the music flipped back to the side stage where the party continued to grow with even more great entertainment from Mitch Gordon and The Unleaded Band who finished off the night with a bang.
Saturday night, 2 Mile Final cranked things up on the side stage and like the night before had fans heading up the hill for the after party! National artist Keith Anderson then hit the main stage for an amazing show drawing even more people to the after party! Once Keith Anderson was done, the music flipped back to the side stage yet again! 2 Mile Final finished off the weekends events with some more amazing music as well! However, they didn’t do it on their own. Keith Anderson popped up on the side stage to sing with the band as well creating an amazing last night at the Park Rapids, MN PBR Bull Ride and After Party!
All in all, a great time was had by many and we’re looking forward to next year already!
Jokela Prowest Productions did an amazing job this year, and from word of mouth over the weekend it sounds like they do an amazing job every year with this event!
