Mutton Busters Selected for Angelina Benefit Rodeo

Let the riding begin.

We're talking bulls, horses, broncs, motorcycles, and, of course...sheep.   The Angelina Benefit Rodeo gets underway Wednesday and continues through Saturday.  Each night features 12 area youngsters who will be trying to take home the nightly Mutton Bustin' title.  Over the past few weeks hundreds upon hundreds of registrations were filled out at Cavenders in Lufkin for the chance to be one of the 48 riders.  Tuesday afternoon, the Lufkin Host Lions Club drew 46 names, the other two were pre-drawn from a special KICKS VIP Rewards contest.
