Resulting in sold out performances, BullFest has proven to be one of the most popular events in East Texas; having become a tremendous success with more professional cowboys wanting to enter than can be accepted. Last year’s bull riding allowed 57 entries and denied more than 50. The overwhelming success of BullFest is due, in part, by Stock contractor Jerald Smith of Wing Rodeo Company is well known on the pro-rodeo circuit. He has had stock entered and televised in the “PBR,” movies, and the National Finals in Las Vegas, Nevada. Cowboys are very much aware of Mr. Smith and his stock’s reputation, thus bringing the top ranking bull riders to Shrine BullFest. Saturday October 12th, the fun begins with a pancake breakfast, then a parade through downtown which continues down Hwy 69 and ends at the grounds of Lindale’s annual CountryFest celebration. CountryFest is full of good food, games and rides for the kids, music entertainment throughout the day, arts & crafts, an all day auction, and much more. If you didn’t catch any candy during the parade, don’t fret, we have all the candy you can eat and then some! Shrine BullFest along with their newest BullFest sponsor The Lindale Candy Company, will host a live remote broadcast. The crew from KMOO 99.1 will set up at 113 Hubbard Ave {Hwy 16 W} at the newly opened store, across from Lindale State Bank. Newly owned and operated by Mr. & Mrs. Terry Cochran, Lindale Candy Company is the oldest surviving business in Lindale; opening in 1946. To show their appreciation and support of BullFest, the Cochrans have invited World Champion Bull Rider Matt Austin. Matt will be greeting visitors at the Candy Store and signing autographs.

Coty “Wizbang” Cooper will bring his “old style” antics to the BullFest, he said. “I still strive to be like those old style clowns that the kids and adults both love to watch,” he said. “I don’t consider myself an ‘athlete’ nor do I consider myself a big entertainer. “I consider myself a rodeo clown.” Cooper, from Lillians, Texas, is a farrier and beekeeper when he’s not doing his bit at rodeos. As a bull rider in his younger days, he realized his true calling was as a clown. “I remember watching the rodeo clowns when I was a very small child and telling my dad I was going to be one of those when I grow up,” he said. He has performed for the APRA finals, the WCR finals, the U.S. Armed Forces rodeo finals and the Women’s National Finals rodeo.

One of those is the down home, heartfelt country voice of Casey Rivers. Born and raised in Lindale, TX, he’s a country boy who isn’t afraid to have BIG dreams. The great news is, his love for GOD and family has put those dreams in motion and his tremendous talent for singing and song-writing has kept them there. Casey and his beautiful wife, Doni, have 3 amazing children, all under the age of five. They make their home in Nashville , TN , where Casey became the 1st runner up, just a few years back, in the highly popular Nashville based talent television show, NASHVILLE STAR. Casey has appeared with such country legends as Kenny Rogers, Loretta Lynn, Neal McCoy, Sara Evans, Jason Aldean, Big and Rich, and the Gatlin Brothers, to name a few. He has appeared on the Grand Ole Opry Stage, toured with the Nashville Star, and the list goes on. Needless to say, Casey has made a name for himself in the music world, lassoing hearts across the country and, even, across the world. While he loves singing country music, his love for ministry is what makes everything work together as God planned it. With all the success he’s experienced, the call to honor God has never faded. In 2008 Casey joined and toured with successful Christian music group, Beyond The Ashes (BTA). The group traveled nationwide to over 200 dates per year. In that time, they saw great big, GOD-sized success, from top 10 radio singles, to a variety of awards, and, most of all, to a real, heartfelt impact in the lives of the thousands of fans they sang to. The year’s with BTA were good ones, but in mid 2012, God led Casey into a new adventure. With the love and support of his family, Casey has returned to his roots as a solo artist, sharing his Texas-sized heart along with his incredible voice and musicianship, to audiences across the world. He’s singing songs that tug at the soul. Casey’s diversity and sincerity help him to carry a message worth hearing wherever God leads. In addition to his overwhelming love for his own kids, Casey is actively involved with sharing the ministry of Compassion, Intl wherever he travels and sings. Compassion is a child sponsorship organization striving to release children from poverty, around the globe, in Jesus’ name. So, if you’re out and about in your hometown, and you see a real nice country boy with a tremendous voice and a friendly smile, it just might be Casey. Make sure you say howdy and take a minute to get to know the one and only Casey Rivers.

The Ramirez family will once again sponsor the favorite action to BullFest: Mexican Poker. As if the bull riding action isn’t enough to keep you glued to your seat, there’s Mexican Poker. This is where brave(?) cowboys hold a card game in the middle of the arena while a fighting bull thrashes about; last player left, wins the pot! Cavender’s Boot City will once again bring Mutton Bustin’ to BullFest: where Joe Dumas serves as voice of rodeo nouncing careers in the rodeo and western sporting event industries. His still manages to announce one or two shows at the location where he got his start! He keeps his calendar full, staying booked about 40 to 48 weeks per year. He is a honor graduate of both Southern Arkansas University (South Ark Community College) and Northwestern State University of Louisiana. Dumas has two nursing degrees and works as a free-lance Registered Nurse at various medical centers in the South when not rodeoing. He is the only individual to both clown and announce the Southern Pro Bull Riders Finals. He choreographs all the rodeo music and works with the clowns. He is excellent at keeping the audience informed of what is happening throughout the course of the event and leaves nothing unattended. dz•TTI ile WoOoD LE z• BBLlin INd DS tz•WO rPpEeT a CAR C s Dennis Morris, four-time IPRA World Champion Bull Rider from Tennessee says, “You have three kinds of rodeo announcers: you have those with good voices, those with knowledge of the sport and contestants and those that are entertaining, educating and enthusiastic. Joe Dumas incorporates all of those qualities. He is one of the best in the business!” Joe was raised in both Arkansas and Louisiana and still maintains residences in both states. He has been in the rodeo business for over 30 years. He started his rodeo career at the age of 13 in Arkansas as a contestant. He has only been announcing rodeos since 1992. At that time he was clowning rodeos full-time and it happened that a friend asked him to help out at the microphone. Joe agreed and from there he launched one of the most successful an- kids 6 years old and under compete on sheep-back for a championship buckle. You got to see these little wranglers ride! You can’t have a bull riding without bull fighters! These guys dressed in bright shirts, ragged shorts and makeup, put their self in harms way, to rescue the cowboy from the bull when he is in danger. This year’s Bull Fighter sponsor : Dr. James L. Wasson and Women’s Total Care of East Texas returns once again to support Shrine BullFest.

Talent at its best, excitement, surprise and humor are part of a performance package that is hard to beat.

I started out riding bulls but found out that as much as I loved the sport I didn’t have the ability. So I prayed and let the Lord lead me and was blessed to meet Donnie Smith (awardwinning bullfighter). Donnie took me under his wing and worked with me, always being there to talk with me and show me how to be professional at a sport that is dangerous at times. I met Jerry Joe Crawford and Jerald Smith (renowned stock contractors) and because of these two men, taking a chance on me I found what I love and where I belong. I’ve been fighting bulls for over 10 years and was voted CRRA bullfighter of the year in 2007. I hold cards in numerous associations and have been blessed to fight bulls for a living. I give my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ full credit and glory for everything I have done. I truly love fighting bulls and hopefully I carry myself in a way in and out of the arena that gives God the glory. Country Girl.... Rock That Stage!! Madi Waldron, Good luck at Lindale Idol!!
