Brought to you by Blue Moon Bull Riding and Ray White Rural Kempsey, the Blue Moon Charity Bull Ride features the best of the best champion bulls and professional riders from across Australia.

Held at the Kempsey Showground, 9 Sea Street, West Kempsey, on Saturday, November 3, it’s a family-friendly event packed with action and live music.

With a good deal to keep the kids entertained, there will be lots of children’s activities including face painting and kids rides.

Plus there are plenty of refreshments on offer from the licensed bar and canteen.

Bull riding is perhaps the toughest and exciting sport on dirt and here you will see wild rides from junior cowboys through to Australian and world champions.

Speaking to the Argus, event organiser and founder Pete Farley said the best bull riders in the country will be there.

Last year's event raised over $10,000 for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service, but the hope is this year’s event will top that.

Mr Farley said how thankful he was for all the support. 

“I can't be thankful enough for all the sponsors in the community, this doesn't happen without them,” Mr Farley said. 

While the sport can be exhilarating and not without risk, Mr Farley assures us that the safety of both the animals and the riders is paramount. 

Gates open at the Kempsey Showground at 4.00pm, 

To add to the atmosphere of the night, there will be live music from local band Cherub before and after the bull-riding. The music strikes up at 5.30pm before the bull riding kicks off at 7pm.

Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for children under 16 years-of-age, children under five years are admitted free.

Don’t forget, if you’re bringing the family, you can get a family pass for $70.
