BullQuest will continue at 8 p.m. today at the arena, 1201 S Division. The event will feature 40 bull riders.

The riders will compete in five events, and proceeds will go toward Oklahoma City-based Parents Assistance Center, which works to prevent child abuse and neglect.

"We see over 1,000 parents each year seeking skills and training,” said James Stovall, executive director of Parents Assistance Center, in a news release.

"When families and parents are strengthened through these types of programs, the whole community benefits through a reduction in neglect, child abuse and violence.”

Tickets for the event are $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 7-12 and free for children age 6 and younger.
