It’s time to take the bull by the horns, or rather, it’s time to watch a professional take a bull by the horns. This weekend, Greenville welcomes back the PBR (Professional Bull Rider) Pendleton Whiskey Velocity Tour for its 4th annual season. This season is already hot, hot, hot, with record breaking attendance and competition rates. Tickets are $15 at Bons Secours Arena. The stage is prepped for PBRs like Mauricio Moreira, facing off against blustering bovines in a classic match of man vs. beast.

Most people don’t know that there are ghosts in Greenville. Discover their stories during a Greenville Paranormal Walking Tour, led by Dustin Bays or Gabe Matthews. Both are members of the Truth Searchers: Paranormal Investigators, and they consider themselves paranormal educators. This 2 hour, 2 mile hike starts at the Rose Crystal Tower in Falls Park and winds its way through the city. Tickets are $25 per person. While there is no age restriction, parental guidance is advised as certain stories contain themes related to death and Greenville’s darker history. Additionally, EMF meters are available for walkers to use to gauge paranormal activity. Enjoy!

It is best suited for ages 3-8, but all are welcome. Be prepared to sing along and tap your feet to the beat!
