Proud to support the Wills Point High School football team by giving them a place to practice indoors and beat the Texas heat! 🏈🔥

Glad Van Zandt Arena could help wishing the Tigers a great season! 🐯💙💛

We’ll be taking a short break for the rest of August and coming back strong the first week of September! 🤠

With the Texas heat, we feel this is the best time to hit pause and get ready for an exciting fall season.

We want to say thank you to everyone who has supported Van Zandt Arena. We truly appreciate your patience and encouragement as we’ve learned the ropes of hosting barrel races. Every event has helped us improve, and we’re excited for what’s ahead.

We’ll see y’all in September with bigger and better races, exciting announcements, and plenty of fun. We can’t wait to have everyone back at the arena!

See y’all soon! 🐴🔥
