Every
one of the three days, there will be professional Bullriding with 100 plus
bullriders per day. A total of $100,000.00 prize money will be up for grabs.
$50,000.00 will be paid out in day monies and a Sunday evening Top 10 Ride off
will provide the best Bullrider with a Check for $50,000.00.
Along
with the End of the World Bullriding, there will be special events such as the
freestyle Bullfight. Mexican fighting bulls will be specially brought in for
this event. The bull is not killed in this bullfight. The only one at risk is
the Bullfighter. He must play with the bull for a minimum of 60 seconds,
making contact with the bull as much as possible without getting hit by the
bull. Judges score him based on this.
Another
event will be Cowboy Poker. Six entrants will be seated in chairs at a poker
table and given a deck of cards. They will begin to deal the cards and at that
time a raging bull will be turned loose in the arena. The last man still seated
at the table will receive the prize money for the day, totalling $500.00. This
event always keeps you on the edge of your seat and provides many laughs,
chills and thrills.
Another
event will be the Wild and Wooly. This is where all of the entrants are 5 years
old and younger. They will be given a chance to ride a sheep. All our
contestants in this event will be given prizes.
The
organizers tell us that there will also be some special guests appearing at the
EOW Bullriding. Gary Leffew, many times World Champion Bullrider and teacher of
many, has agreed to show up at the event. Gary has been in movies such as Pink
Cadillac with Clint Eastwood to Johnny Knoxville’s Jackass movie series. The
one time representative of Bulls Eye BBQ sauce says he is looking forward to
coming to Belize and has heard many good things about the people here.
Along
with all the sporting and special events of each of the 3 nights will be a
special concert each night. Three bands are slated to appear on Friday and
Saturday night with a 5 band grand finale on Sunday. Musicians will be coming
from Canada, United States, Mexico, Guatemala, Jamaica, and of course Belize.
Finishing
off each night will be a fireworks show so be sure to come one, come all. Watch
some of the greatest entertainers in the world, some of the greatest musicians
in the world and watch the End of the World in the Caribbean, home of the
Mayans where the 2012 prophecy began.
Tickets
will be on sale in September of 2012 and will start at $30.00 for Friday and
Saturday with a ticket price of $50.00 for the Sunday Grand Finale. Packages
and Discounts are being offered at sponsor Resorts and Hotels.
