Sabine River Ford is bringing their 2nd Annual Pro Rodeo & Livestock Show to the T2 Arena February 1 and 2.
“We are proud to bring this family-friendly fun event to Orange County,” said Managing Partner Jim Surber.
Surber and his crew at Sabine River Ford welcome you to T2 Arena to see the rodeo competition at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday night.
The competition spotlight will be on one of the best rodeo competitors active on the circuit.
Speed Williams is an 8X world champion, Pro Rodeo Cowboy Association Hall of Famer. He has won more consecutive titles than anyone in history.
He will be one of the many rodeo participants competing for the coveted prizes.
The Livestock Show will be held Saturday morning at 8 a.m. The Orange County Livestock Association will provide competitors. Each will show their stock as judges determine the winners.
Tickets for the Friday and Saturday night rodeo competition are available at Sabine River Ford prior to the event and at the T2 Arena both nights. Tickets are $10 in advance or at the door.
Chad Havens is the proud owner of T2 Arena.
“We will add seating capacity for this event featuring a full-blown rodeo including bull riding,” said Havens.
Havens built T2 Arena to be a rain or shine event center. It is one of the few covered arenas in the area.
“Last year we had competitors from Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and as far away as Arizona and New Mexico. We have a good, far-reaching reputation on the rodeo circuit,” said Havens.
