The PBR brings it’s best to Minot, North Dakota this Friday and Saturday as the Y’s Men present the King of the North Showdown…2 big nights of never ending action as the most talented cowboys take on the rankest bulls.
There are many names behind the King of the North, including a local North Dakota boy, Chad Berger from Mandan, North Dakota, who is known nationwide for his bucking bulls. Chad has been 12-time Stock Contractor of the Year in the PBR.
The second name is Adam Libby of Libby Productions, one of the premiere professional bull riding event producers from Eureka, Montana.

For Adam and the PBR coming to Minot is a thrill in part because of the hospitality that the city of Minot extends to riders and the fans who come to the Magic City for this event. “We love working with the Y’s Men. They go out and get the sponsorships and have a lot of boots on the ground helping out the PBR” according to Adam “and that makes for some big prize money including first place cash of $100,000, 2nd place cash of $25,000 and third place will get a brand new CF Moto UTV.”

The King of the North Showdown is a series of stops in the PBR, a total of 10, in Montana, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and Idaho. The final stop, the showdown finals, will be at the Municipal Auditorium in Minot with 40 bull riders riding on 2 different nights of action with a long and a short round.

On Saturday night the red carpet at the Y’s Men’s PBR event will be rolled out for the military. “We start with the Air Force Color Guard, and then we’ll have Naval officers singing the National Anthem to get the event started” according to Libby. “This is truly America’s number one sport, and we honor America with the National Anthem, Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer.”

The Y’s Men use the proceeds from the PBR event to fund and improve the Y Camp near Garrison, North Dakota. “It doesn’t get any better than that” according to Adam Libby.
