GRAPELAND – On March 4, The Cowboy Church of Houston County, in Grapeland, invites the public to participate in its four-week event, the Spring Fling Playday Series.

The series includes barrels, pole bending, speed racing, straight-a-way, dummy roping, and what is being touted as “a mystery event.”

Age categories are Buckaroos 0-5, Pee Wee 6-9, Juniors 10-14, Seniors 15-19, and Adults 19+. The cost is $10 per event, but discounts are given for participating in all events.

Riders must ride the same horse for all events that day to receive points and must enter four of the five points events at three of the four play days to be eligible for High Point Prizes. A mutton-bustin’ contest will also be held for kids up to six. Concessions will be available.
