The seventh installment of the Dimmit County Chamber of Commerce Bullnanza is in the books. A capacity crowd arrived on the scene to watch 25 bull riders duke it out for the $3500.00 in added money and championship belt buckle. Midway through the event we were besieged by some unfortunately timed, but well needed rain. Some spectators were dissuaded and fled the scene permanently, but a good crowd of die hards remained till the end to see Buck Bonner of Robstown, Texas crowned champion. Bonner was the only rider with qualified rides in both the long and short rounds.
