Spanish Fork is hosting the 2016 Wrangler Champions Challenge Rodeo for the third year on Saturday, June 4 at the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds. To help promote the rodeo and at the same time to encourage students to read, the city is offering a Champions Challenge Reading Contest. Bull fighter, JJ Harrison, Fiesta Days Rodeo Queens, Spanish Fork Police Officer Bryan DeWitt, along with city officials came to Brockbank to entertain the students in a fun assembly and get them excited to read. Besides reading they stressed "Don't be a Bull-y! Be a Champion! Mr. Harrison explained the difference between being bullied and being teased, and how true friends help each other. 

Students that meet their reading goal for the month of March gets his/her name in a drawing where one student from each grade will receive two tickets to attend the rodeo. Out of those students, 2 lucky students will be drawn to receive not only 2 rodeo tickets but a pair of Justin boots. All of the winners will get to meet real rodeo cowboys!
