INFR Finals Rodeo 2015 Highlights

The 2015 Indian National Finals Rodeo took place at the South Point Equestrian Center in Las Vegas, Nevada from November 3rd to November 7th. This year was a special year for the Indian National Finals because it was their 40th year anniversary. On Friday, November 6, the audience celebrated the 40 years of INFR Champions at the 7 pm performance. Past champions and current champions were all there keeping the moment both sentimental and inspirational. The Cowboy Lifestyle Network Road Team, which included the Ak-Chin Indian Community and Earnhardt Auto Centers, was able to experience the thrills of this rodeo and agreed that this year was bigger and better than any former years.

Cooper Tire, also sponsors of the Professional Bull Riding (PBR) events, happened to be one of the major sponsors of the Indian National Finals Rodeo, which is a new and exciting expansion. The CLN team strongly supports Cooper Tires and was very appreciative of their continual kindness and encouragement. In addition, the CLN team was very grateful to Chad Berger of Chad Berger Bucking Bulls, and also the stock contractor of the year for PBR. Berger’s bulls were undoubtedly there showing off at the INFR, and so was his clothing line. Berger outfitted the CLN team with everything from shirts, jackets, and hats, leaving them proud to represent.
