Mutton Bustin’ Time at the Nacogdoches Rodeo

The Nacogdoches Pro Rodeo and Steer Show is coming March 27th-29th at the Nacogdoches Expo and Convention Center.  One of the big draws for the annual event is the KICKS 105 Mutton Bustin'.  

Each evening at 7 pm, 10 kids try riding sheep for points.  The longer you stay on, the higher your score.
