FORT LUPTON - Look out. Dimitri Alarcon is turning into a mutton bustin sensation.
Alarcon, 5, of Fort Lupton, made it to the finals of the World Championship Mutton Bustin final in Fresno, Calif., and the PBR finals last month and he found time to film a segment about mutton bustin that is scheduled to appear on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" Friday. http://www.ftluptonpress.com/content/littlest-cowboy-rural-living-heart-fort-lupton-family
Proud mom, Angelina Alarcon, said Dimitri took first place in the first round of the finals in Fresno and then fell short in the championship round. In the PBR bull-riding finals, a week later in Las Vegas, Calif., he made it to the championship round again. Dimitri was competing for $10,000 savings bond.
Dimitri didn't go home empty handed. In addition to meeting a number of professional bull riders, he also captured the award for best dressed wrangler.
