SEE TOP RIDERS, BEST BULLS

FROM AROUND THE WORLD AT MILE HIGH PBR

What does it feel like when you’ve strapped yourself to a 2,000-pound bull and are hanging on for dear life? Ask the riders of the PBR (Professional Bull Riders)! 
On April 28, the Mile High PBR is back for the seventh consecutive year at the Prescott Valley Event Center. Come see the top 35 professional bull riders take on the rankest bucking bulls in the business. This event is a fun, action-packed event for fans of all ages. 
The PBR, known as the “toughest sport on dirt,” will make a stop right here in Prescott Valley! For the past several years this event was a complete sellout, and if you haven’t been, it’s a must see! Bull riders from all over the world – Australia, Brazil, Mexico and the very best from the U.S. – all gather here for this one-day, nonstop bull-riding event.
Judd Mortensen, owner of Rocky Mountain Bull Bash PBR productions, is all too familiar with the world of rodeo. A former professional-bull rider-now-turned producer, Judd produces and promotes PBR and rodeo events throughout the country and is one of the top producers in the PBR. 
“This event in Prescott Valley is by far one of the best events I do all year,” Mortensen said. “The atmosphere in the Prescott Valley Event Center is unlike any other. If you’re a rodeo fan, this event is a must-attend.” 
Who will you be cheering for – the rider or the bull? The bulls of the PBR are just as popular as the riders! Known as some of the best athletic animals, the bulls come from all over the country as well. Some people are more likely to cheer for the bulls more than the riders. 
 “Some of the bulls that come to this event are worth more than $250,000,” Mortensen said. “You can expect to see not only the best riders in the world, but the best bulls as well.”
One of the highlights of this event is the youth bull-riding event! Young bull riders across Arizona will come to test their skills and ride among their bull-riding idols. The fans cheer extra loud when these young cowboys are riding. You can expect to see Mortensen’s two boys riding, JC, 17, and Jaxton, 13, who have made quite a name for themselves in the rodeo world already! JC is a multi-state bull-riding and bareback-riding champion.
 “We started adding the youth events to give our kids a chance to ride at all the events, and then it turned out to be the fans’ favorite part of the bull riding,” Mortensen said. Now it’s an invitational youth bull riding and fans can expect to see some great rides made by these young up-and-coming rodeo stars!” 
In the past seven years, this event has sold out, so you are encouraged to buy your tickets in advance. Tickets start at just $10. Visit prescottvalleyeventcenter.com or call 866-443-8849.

LOCAL NEWS: The Northern Arizona VA in Prescott has provided an update on their Homeless Veteran Program. . . .PRESCOTT, Ariz. – The Northern Arizona VA Health Care System’s Homeless Veteran Program, along with its community partners, housed 445 Veterans in 2022, exceeding their target goal by 157%.Nationally, the 2022 goal was to house 38,000 homeless Veterans— a goal that was exceeded by 6.3%. The Department of Veterans Affairs remains committed to ending Veteran homelessness and increasing housing placements is critical to achieving this goal.“This success is a result of efforts built on the evidence-based ‘Housing First’ approach, which prioritizes getting a Veteran into housing, then provides the Veteran with the support they need to stay housed,” said Steve Sample, Medical Center Director.In Northern Arizona, there are a variety of services designed to house homeless Veterans. The VA’s Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) Program includes VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) vouchers that provide formerly homeless Veterans with subsidized housing and a wraparound, interdisciplinary case management team to address issues that may have contributed to homelessness. The program provides justice outreach services, employment services, health care services through the Homeless Patient Aligned Care Team, outreach, and transitional housing support. The VA also works closely with community partners to house homeless Veterans through a system called Coordinated Entry, where community agencies along with the VA regularly meet to coordinate efforts and ensure homeless Veterans do not fall through the cracks.“We are fortunate that there is so much support for helping homeless Veterans in our area,” said Jessica Taylor, Homeless Program Coordinator for the Northern Arizona VA. “This success could not have been possible without great collaboration between our community partners, Housing Authorities, Tribal partnerships, and support from our local communities.”Looking ahead, the VA will continue to explore new avenues to house homeless Veterans and overcome housing barriers. In collaboration with U.S VETS, Gorman & Company, and the Arizona Department of Housing, a supportive housing project on the grounds of the VA’s Fort Whipple campus is in the initial planning stages. The VA is also expanding outreach to ensure that homeless Veterans are aware of services available to them. For Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness— or if you know of homeless Veterans in need of assistance, call 877-424-3838.For more information on renting to or hiring homeless Veterans, visit: www.va.gov/homelessAbout the Northern Arizona VA: Through its main campus in Prescott, along with Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) in Cottonwood, Flagstaff, Kingman, Lake Havasu City, and Anthem— with additional clinics in Tuba City, Page, Kayenta, Chinle, Holbrook, and Polacca, the Northern Arizona VA provides services to approximately 33,000 Veterans over a catchment area of more than 65,000 square miles.. . .www.facebook.com/VAPrescott ...
