It may have been the first Tofield Bull Bash last year, but the event was so successful even the cowboys rated it number one.

The inaugural bash placed as the top event in Canada as voted on by the top bullriders of the Elite Professional Bullriders (EPB). The award was to be presented last weekend during the EPB finals in Butte, Montana.

Tofield bullrider and Tofield Bull Bash organizer, Curtis Neufeld, called the award “pretty exciting, especially as this was the first year it was held.”

The next bull bash in Tofield is scheduled for Friday, April 6, or on the Good Friday of Easter weekend.
