Not only are we celebrating Halloween week here in Las Vegas, we’ve also got our first wave of rodeo competitors hitting town for the 2009 PBR World Finals at the Thomas & Mack. The cowboys and gals will be easily identifiable as the folks still in costume after Saturday night and the second wave comes in December when NFR steps into the spotlight.
Check out the PBR website for the competition schedule and a complete list of Fan Club activities.
