The 6th Annual Bull Ride / Spiker Family Reunion

The 6th Annual Bull Ride moves to June

By Kate Spiker

The Annual Bull Ride is moving to JUNE!  We will also double the excitement with TWO nights of bull riding.  Come out and enjoy the fun Friday and Saturday, June 15th and 16th! 

This is a family event.  People of all ages will have something to enjoy.  We have a mechanical bull, 21 foot slide, muttin bustin’, and tons of fun with “The Man in the Can” Brett Carpenter!!  This is a non-alcoholic event and coolers are not permitted on the grounds. 

We hope you will all come out and join us.  Pease feel free to invite friends to visit us on Facebook or at our website, Spiker Farm, for updates that will be posted as we get closer to the event.

Our sponsors bring bull riding to Jane Lew!  Be sure to say “Thank You” whenever you visit them.

Announcements

  • Submitted by Bobbi Spiker-Conley – The Spiker Family Reunion will be held on Sunday, May 27.  We have not received any official word from the organizers but believe it will be based on a similar schedule as the last two years.  (Read more in our Archived section – May 2011 issue & the  May 2010 issue.) 

    Alice Spiker passed away a few days before the event last year and Adelene Spiker passed away in March this year.  You may view Adelene’s online obituary by clicking here.  Both beautiful women will be missed at this year’s function but I’m certain their influence will be keenly felt.
