"It's great to offer our customers and the public the opportunity to meet the men who will actually be in the arena, protecting the bullriders," expressed John Sellers, with City National Bank. "It was interesting to meet these guys and learn what they do and the many skills that they must perform in their jobs."

Dowdy and Nelson met with customers at the Downtown Main Offices of City National Bank from 1:30 to 2:30 and then traveled to the Mockingbird Lane Location of the Bank for autographs from 2:45 until 3:45.

Many fans attended both sessions and were able to meet the bullfighters and become acquainted with them before watching them perform, this weekend.

"It makes the PBR event just that much more interesting, when you actually know those participating," expressed one of the CNB customers, as she obtained an autograph. "That way you can be 'pulling' for them during the competition!"

"It's always great to share with the community in welcoming PBR to Hopkins County, each August, and sponsoring the bullfighting team is a great chance to meet and enjoy the sport of PBR Bullriding," continued Sellers. "It's great for our community and great to be a part of such an entertaining event in Hopkins County!"
