Wait, who's riding the mechanical bull?
When you think of media personalities, you think of intrepid journalists, broadcasters, and bloggers, yes? Bull-riding superstars? Not so much. At least not usually.
But at the 2018 Children's TherAplay Hoe-Down about a dozen of the fine folks from RTV 6, HANK FM, the Indy Star, IntoIndy.com, NBC Sports, IndyBoozeMuse.com, and CBS 4 are taking on the mechanical bull and each other to help raise funds and awareness for treatment at Children's TherAplay.
So who won the local media bull-riding competition?!?
How does it work?
The competition will take place across three rounds (7:30 p.m., 7:50 p.m., and 8:10 p.m.), with each participant riding one time. Whoever stays on the bull the longest wins bragging rights and Hoe-Down bull-riding glory.
