Bulls and Barrels Series
October 26 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Saddle up and join us ……
At Carters Arena in Chiefland, FL we have some rodeo fun while raising awareness and funds for the CdLS Foundation. The Carter family has been in the rodeo business for years and their hearts felt the need to give to the CdLS Foundation the best way we know how by putting on a Bulls and Barrels family fun event! We will be putting on a 5 event buckle series and a portion of all proceeds will go directly to the CdLS Foundation. The guest of honor at the rodeo will be little cowboy Gunner Carter. Gunner was born January 9, 2021, a month early. He was in NICU for 3 ½ months and he was diagnosed with CdLS, and our life was forever changed. Gunner is now 3 ½ years old and he is feed by feeding tube. Gunner does not walk but he just started to get around with his specially made wheelchair!!!! Gunner is deaf and nonverbal, but he loves to blow bubbles!!!
A little about the event and its history: Gunner’s grandfather Eugene Carter III raises bucking bulls and has traveled all over the southern states to different rodeos and bull rides for 40 plus years. Gunner’s father, Cole Carter rode bulls and still does on occasion, but he mainly fights the bulls now. There are always 2 bullfighters in the arena and if a bull rider gets hung up and needs help the other the other bullfighter will go to the rescue to help them and pray no one gets hurt! The Carter family is happy to be a part of something that will help a Foundation so close to their heart!
