History of Barrel Series
    The Florida Parishes Arena Barrel Racing series began its inaugural season in August of 2004. The concept behind this successful series is the brainchild of Amber Oliver Adams, a local barrel racer. Ms. Adams
first suggested the idea of establishing the series as a viable way to generate interest in the new arena among the barrel racing community. The arena was new and bookings were limited.
    A buckle series was started and it quickly became very popular which led to a second season of racing in 2005. Twelve shows later the series was solidly established and a Kiddie-Barrel series was added to enhance the fun and expand the participation.
    Now in its seventh year, the FPA Barrel Racing series offers locals and out-of-town visitors the opportunity to enjoy an exciting, competitive event in a family atmosphere where safety and good clean fun are always a top priority. The series racers compete one Friday every month and both experienced and novice racers have a venue in which to hone and improve their skills.
