Performances included the Shoshone-Bannock Tribe’s drummers, dancers and tribal riders, War Bonnet Junior Posse Drill Team and one-armed bandit John Payne.
Local cowboy Garret Smith took home first place in this years bull riding even Thursday night.
“I got a lot of family that comes here and friends so to ride one here it’s pretty incredible,” Smith said.
Smith was the only cowboy to stay on his bull for eight seconds Thursday night.
