The Brehmer Rodeo Company, LLC, will have a rodeo at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 12 and 13 at the Jim Bowie Rodeo Arena here in Bowie.
This rodeo will be sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), and Brehmer Rodeo Company is providing the stock.
“We worked to keep a PRCA rodeo in Bowie,” said Barney Brehmer, of Brehmer Rodeo Company. “All professional rodeo applications were completed and accepted by the PRCA.”
Brehmer Rodeo is teaming up with Bowie Rural Volunteer Fire Department to put on the event, which will coincide with a fish fry that weekend.
A portion of the proceeds from the ticket sales, along with donated items for a silent auction, will go directly back to the fire department to help purchase needed equipment.
Tickets will cost $10 for adults and $7 for children ages six to 12. Children ages five years old and under are admitted free. For tickets, call Randall Preuninger at 940-841-4277, Ray Jones at 940-366-5352 or Brehmer at 254-592-5372.
Bowie’s Nathan Rodgers signed his letter of intent to run cross country and track at Ranger College.
The senior, who is the son of Ryan and Jessica Rodgers, has spent the past three years running on the varsity cross country team as one of its top runners. He helped the team win the district title in 2020 and has helped the Jackrabbits to team district runner-up finishes in 2021 and 2022.
While running in the regional meet the past three years, Rodgers had his best finish this past fall at 32nd.
Rodgers also played varsity basketball his senior year and helped the Jackrabbits make it to the regional quarterfinals.
“Ranger offered me quite a good deal,” Rodgers said. “The coach is a good one who will develop me and make me better. I already met some of my teammates so we already have that bond. All around it was just a good college.”
