September 22, 2006

Award-winning sports journalist Josh Peter will be in Viking Theater Friday, Sept. 22, at 11:30 a.m. to discuss the fascinating subculture of professional bull riding. Peter will talk about his book, Fried Twinkies, Buckle Bunnies, & Bull Riders: A Year Inside the Professional Bull Riders Tour, and his experiences witnessing the death-defying confrontations that have made bull riding the fastest-growing sport in the world. Peter's writing captures the high drama of the sport and introduces readers to a culture that's rife with colorful characters.

The event is sponsored by Multicultural Affairs and Community Outreach.
