    PEARL HARBOR TO HONORED AT 2018 PBR HEROES & LEGENDS CELEBRATION New Ty Murray Top Hand Award Will Also Be Presented PUEBLO, Colo. (June 19, 2018) – Legendary bull Pearl Harbor will be bestowed with the Brand of Honor – the highest level of recognition for a bovine athlete – at PBR’s (Professional Bull Riders) annual Heroes & Legends Celebration in Las Vegas in November. As PBR has come full circle to partner with rodeo associations, the sport’s marquee awards presentation will also now honor cowboys from the rodeo world with the inaugural Ty Murray Top Hand award, which will be presented to athletes from the rodeo world exemplifying excellence and traditional cowboy values. The Ty Murray Top Hand Award will go to Tom Ferguson, Lewis Feild and Trevor Brazile. As part of PBR Finals Week in Las Vegas (Nov. 2-11), the PBR Heroes & Legends Celebration headlines the PBR Legends Reunion from Nov. 6-8 at South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa. The reunion will include PBR alumni from the past and present participating in an ultimate PBR meet-and-greet as well as fan Q&A sessions. The Heroes & Legends ceremony on Nov. 6 will also induct these honorees into the 2018 class: 1970 PRCA World Champion Gary Leffew will be enshrined in the Ring of Honor; Dr. J. Pat Evans, Joe Baumgartner, and Barry Frank will receive the Jim Shoulders Lifetime Achievement Award; and Jill McBride will be honored with the Sharon Shoulders Award. BRAND OF HONOR Brand of Honor recipient, Pearl Harbor, had only competed four-plus years at PBR’s elite level, but the powerful and athletic bovine’s greatness was evident to all, and the big black bovine checked all the boxes for an award given for exemplary performance throughout a bull’s career.
