Devices owner says "This gals got the right stuff"

Maria Kisner of Millstone has been "declared" the best mechanical bull rider so far, according to the owner of the attraction. "This gal's got what it takes," he said.

Maria was so good, she was allowed to get back on the device several times to affirm her skills.

The young lady has lots of horse riding experience, lending to her ability to endure the mechanical device.

"We really cranked it up for her, and she stuck well," said the owner.

She is the daughter of Phillip and Patsy Kisner of Sycamore.
