This year's competition featured 43 participants from not only Yuma, but from Phoenix, California and Quantico, Virginia.
"I think any time that we can bring more people in that aren't familiar with Yuma and what Yuma has to offer...with where Yuma is situated between Phoenix and San Diego, I think any time that we can bring people into that it's gonna help us out as a community," said Jacob Reeves, Chairman of the Bull of the Desert.
