Lots of bull at the county fair

Hanging on for a ride.

Bull Riding came to the Floyd County Fair at Chantilly Farms Friday afternoon with the bulls winning all but one of the rides and only Floyd Countian Paul Weaver scored the one ride to the buzzer and took the win.

Kids got into the action too with sheep riding, a dance contest and a race to grab money.

More photos and full story in the next edition of the Floyd Press.
