The heat was on at the Tunica, Mississippi Expo Center, August 10-12, 2018, but, of course, it was cool comfort inside for another JX2 team roping event. With co-sponsor Equibrand, there were 12 saddles to give away, 8 pairs of Bex sunglasses, plus 20 pairs of Equibrand bell boots and splint boots, two Gist buckles, ten Resistol hat certificates, and plenty of cash to the winners.
