The Professional Bull Riders Touring Pro Division will visit Texas, Florida, and Arkansas this weekend.

Ross Coleman will host the Ross Coleman Invitational at Cowboys Dancehall in San Antonio at 8:30 p.m. on Friday. Riders scheduled to compete include some of the top riders in the Built Ford Tough Series, including 2009 World Champion Kody Lostroh, J.B. Mauney, Valdiron de Oliveira, Robson Palermo, Ryan McConnel, and Sean Willingham.

Less than 100 miles away in Gonzales, Texas, the TPD will be in action on Saturday at the J.B. Wells Arena. Bull riding begins at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are available at the door.

The RMEF Big Bull Tour will be at Germain Arena in Estero, Fla., on Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. Tickets are available by telephone at (800) 745-3000, and at www.Ticketmaster.com.

Estero is the 11th of 15 TPD events in the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Big Bull Tour presented by Browning. The rider who accumulates the most winnings for the 15 events will be given an entry into the Built Ford Tough Series events at Milwaukee on Sept. 9-10; Springfield, Mo., on Sept. 16-18; and Wichita, Kan., on Sept. 23-24. The rider will also receive an RMEF-sponsored hunt, a limited-edition rifle from Browning, and a set of tires from Cooper Tires. The series is also sponsored by Bad Boy Mowers, Big Tex Trailers, Cooper Tires, Express Sports, Lincoln Welders, Montana Canvas, and Skyhawk Rugs.

The TPD will be featured at the 67th Rodeo of the Ozarks at Parsons Stadium in Springdale, Ark. Bull riding will be at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets are available by telephone at (479) 927-4530 or (877) 927-6336 and at www.rodeooftheozarks.org.

The TPD provides an opportunity for riders to compete in PBR-sanctioned events while earning money to qualify for the nationally-televised Built Ford Tough Series, which is comprised of the Top 40 bull riders in the world. Every five events on the BFTS, the Top 5 riders (based on money earned) from the TPD are allowed to move into the BFTS.
