Often, a bull rider’s exit

is made head over heels,
and the resulting impact
on the arena ground will
leave the rider momen-
tarily stunned and dis-
oriented.

Around the turn of the
century, rodeo clowns
emerged with the dual res-
ponsibility of entertaining
audiences and protecting
fallen bull riders by turn-
ing angry bull’s charges
towards themselves. As
specially-bred strings of
bucking bulls began to
emerge, a number of these
clowns discontinued their
comedy routines to con-
centrate on _ protecting
cowboys from rank hook-
ing bulls, and a new
specialty in the sport be-
gan to develop: the Rodeo
Bullfighters. *

However, despite the
fancy footwork, one rule

rodeo bullfighter will in-
variably sacrifice himself
to insure the safety of the
cowboy.

Rodeo bullfighting, a
match-up where all the
odds favor the animal
participants, provides
some of the most heart-
stopping action in all the
rodeo.

This year, for the third
annual. Grizzly Valley
Rodeo, the spectators are
in for a real treat, for they
will be entertained with
one of the best from
Down Under. Graham
Boyhero from New South
Wales, Australia has im-
pressive credentials.

He has clowned in New
Guinea, and in 1983, he
performed at the North
American Finals in Den-
ver, Colorado’s Bullfight-
ing Championship. In
1981 he worked the World
Cup Rodeo as bullfighter.

has completed a tour in

Graham Boyhero comes
to Tumbler Ridge thanks
to the sponsorship of the |
Tumbler Ridge Inn for his |
Saturday performance
and the Royal Bank for
his Sunday performance.

Make sure you come to
see the rodeo and see this

clown of clowns Pied
Piper the children of
Tumbler Ridge. Of

course, he will be accom-
panied by his now famous

pal and trusty _ steed,
Bucky.

Bucky is another story,
but for this one, you will
have to attend the rodeo.
Later in the day, you will
see him as a bullfighter of
bullfighters, protecting &
the constestants and enter-
taining everyone.
