Held April 11, 2015, the 8th Po Boys Picnic was held at RWR Arena in Denison. Benefits from this event go to help with medical expenses for young Bentley Seymour of Durant, who is almost 7 years old. Bentley is recovering from major surgeries necessary to correct his short-bowel syndrome. The Texoma Blood Bank was on hand to accept blood donations, which will be on credit for him if he uses a Texas hospital for transfusions. Texas Vital Care kept an ambulance and two paramedics on hand through the rodeo, as their donation to the cause. Musicians Russ Lowry and Tommy & the Dee Wops provided entertainment during the horseshoe tournament. There were silent and live auctions, a concession stand, and T-shirts for sale to help raise more money. Children of all ages participated in several Little Britches rodeo activities and it was the first time Po Boys has included bull riding.
The Po Boys Picnic IX is now already in the planning stages and will be sometimes in late autumn. Details forthcoming, and can be found on its Website PoBoysPicnic.com or Facebook Po Boys Picnic.
