Rodeo is more than a sport in Wyoming...it's a way of life that stresses the importance of ranching while giving prominence to an American hero and icon, the cowboy.
Spectators can feel the raw emotion and see the outstanding athleticism and intense passion in every event. Whether it’s a small town rodeo or the "Daddy of Em’ All," folks living near and far visit Wyoming to experience this age-old tradition. So grab your cowboy hat, get your boots on and saddle up for 2008!
