Bull riders return to Cassville for Ridin’ with Mason Lowe Invitational
CASSVILLE, Mo. – To honor a fallen friend, 40 of the top athletes in the sport of bull riding will return to Bill Hailey Arena in Cassville on Saturday, May 8, for the second annual Ridin’ with Mason Lowe Invitational, a PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Touring Pro Division event.
Mason Lowe, a Missouri native, passed away on January 15, 2019, as a result of injuries sustained during a PBR event at the Denver Coliseum.
To celebrate his career and dedication to the sport, the bull riders, in collaboration with Lowe’s closest friends and family, will pay tribute to the young athlete by doing what he loved to do at the outdoor arena nearest his hometown.
“Everyone in the community knew Mason, or knew of him, and his kindness toward others,” said event co-producer Stu Crowe. “When we started planning a memorial event back in 2019, it was really important to us that we created an event that had a hometown feel to it and gave not only the local community a way to celebrate his life but for everyone Mason impacted on the road and at PBR to as well.”
The night will feature names that resonate with bull riding fans worldwide, including Chase Dougherty, Austin Richardson, Kyle Jones, Andrew Alvidrez, Dakota Louis, Gage Gay, Matt Triplett, Brady Sims and many more. In addition, a handful of youth competitors will join in on the night’s action as they ride miniature-sized bulls at intermission with the help of their idols in the sport.
