OCEAN CITY– For the first time ever, professional rodeo bull riding is coming to the Ocean City Inlet parking lot in June after resort officials this week approved the special event.
On Tuesday, the Mayor and Council had before them a request from Triple Creek Events to approve a Bulls on the Beach event scheduled for June 3-5 on a portion of the Inlet parking lot. Bulls on the Beach is a Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Bull Riding and Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) rodeo.
An arena and bleachers will be constructed on a portion of the Inlet parking lot. Several truckloads of dirt will be hauled to the Inlet lot in advance of the bull-riding event in June, creating an eight-inch surface on which the rodeo will be held. Event organizers will haul the dirt back out of the Inlet lot and restore it to its pre-event condition after the rodeo is completed.
The bulls themselves will be housed off the island during the event, and trailered in on the days of the competition. Triple Creek Events and representative Alex Spies will be responsible for the event set-up and will provide security. Spies is requesting the town provide additional space for multiple trailers that transport the bulls and for trash pick-up after the performances. Spies, who appeared before the Mayor and Council on Tuesday, along with Triple Creek Events’ Chip Ridgely, outlined some of the details of the bull-riding event at the Inlet.
Nothing like a bit of animal abuse in the height of hot June to enhance your vacation.
Ehh…early June is a crapshoot on weather. Could be anywhere from 60s-80s.
Your comment is pointless. The animal abuse occurs either way, the added bonus is the hot weather.
Can’t have a rest after Memorial day weekend leading into JUNE BUGS?
Really Rickie?
More wasteful spending money on the convention center in ocean city. They don’t even have any good concerts or anything worth seeing.
