Mike Pribble Memorial Plaque Dedication, Wednesday, July 1st at Noon at the Equine Pavillion
The Mike Pribble Rodeo was a staple for families in Hopkins County and surrounding areas over the 4th of July weekend for over 40 years. Thousands of visitors made their way to Sulphur Springs to participate in the parade and Grand Entry of this 4-5 day event. Memories of Mike Pribble standing on his head and roping 8 horses as they ran by and him doing the Texas Skip up and down the entire length of the rodeo arena fill the minds of many residents of this community. As his granddaughter, I am privileged to get to invite you to attend the unveiling of a beautiful bronze plaque that will grace the front of the Equine Pavilion so that hopefully his memory will live on for generations to come.. A Special thank you to Enola Gay, Charles Helm, Adam Teer, the County Commissioners and County Judge Robert Newsom for their diligence in making this dream for my family become a reality. Refreshments will be served at the unveiling!
