COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – The Professional Bull Riders (PBR) introduces us to a couple of their competitors, both human and bull, live on KRDO13 before Saturday’s Freedom 250 event.
Saturday’s event is called “PBR Space Cowboys.” It’s a collaboration between PBR and the United States Space Force (USSF) to bring fun and education about the branch to Colorado Springs. Country stars Tim McGraw and Chris Janson headline the event.
The “Launchpad” fun zone opens outside the stadium starting at 2 p.m. with live music, games and Space Force activities. The Launchpad is free to the public.
Janson takes the stage at 6:45 p.m. to kick off the bull riding. PBR said it trucked in four million pounds of dirt to transform Falcon Stadium, and its bulls and riders will take to center field following Janson’s performance.
McGraw closes out the Space Cowboy celebration with a live concert following the bull riding around 9:45 p.m. You can find a full schedule and ticket information here.
The Space Cowboy celebration is part of the White House’s Freedom 250 initiative directed by an executive order from President Donald Trump. It’s a separate group from the bipartisan America250 organization charged by Congress in 2016.
