A few of the major items include new museum doors to the main entrance of the building, the semi-permanent wall in collections was replaced with a new permanent wall, and lights were converted to LED throughout the whole museum. We also added a couple of new exhibit spaces. New display cases were added to display barrel racing inductees and we expanded our contract personnel displays. With the help of Priefert Rodeo and Ranch Equipment, Big Country Farm Toys, Resistol Hats, Cactus Ropes, Ryer & Victoria Hitchcock, Heel-O-Matic Training Systems, James and Nellie Miller, and Whaley Cattle Company a new children’s exhibit was added in Theater 2. The theater wasn’t being used and with the help of our sponsors, we were able to add an attraction for our young rodeo enthusiasts where they can touch and play. We still have a long road ahead of us for improving the home where so much rodeo history is displayed and cherished. The Hall of Fame staff is constantly trying to improve the experience each guest receives. We take great pride in housing the history and life of professional rodeo. We received a minor face lift in September with the installation of new front doors. The door pulls form a replica of a World Champion buckle when closed. A new permanent children’s exhibit opened August. Children can dress up as a cowboy or cowgirl and race barrels, rope steers, or buck on a bull or horse. The permanent wall in collections being constructed. New exhibit space was need for our barrel racing inductees. Display cases were built in our gift shop area along with expanded contract personal cases. 3 | ProRodeo Hall of Fame & Museum of the American Cowboy 101 GALLERY The 101 Gallery is used primarily to display Western art collections and other specially created exhibits that pertain to the sport of rodeo. Exhibits in this gallery are changed at least twice a year. In 2018, the gallery displayed two collections: The Artist and the Bucking Horse, and Captured Moments: Rodeo Photography Exhibit. THE ARTIST AND THE BUCKING HORSE Most of the artwork in this gallery was collected by Valona Varnum Crowell, which she donated to the Hall of Champions in 1983. The collection originally contained forty-four individual pieces. Over the years, other individuals have donated or loaned pieces to the Hall which have been added to the collection. The best introduction to this collection was written by Valona in her published guide: Every Western Artist has done his or her version of the bucking horse. Some artists, like Will James, who is known as “the bucking horse artist,” have made it a trademark. The following collection started with the interest of seeing each artist’s interpretation of the same subject. Some of the artists were working cowboys or rodeo riders. All were observers of the sport and knew the situation well. You will see the comic, as well as the serious side, when each artist gives his (or her) idea of the bucking horse. CAPTURED MOMENTS: RODEO PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBIT Rodeo photography has been around since almost the beginning of the sport. The early photos were of contestants posed for large panoramic photographs before the competitions began. As equipment evolved, action images of the events began to emerge. Photographers made money selling the images as postcards and other sized prints. Rodeo photographers became more daring by shooting from inside the arena with little or no protection, some received broken bones for their efforts. A few photographers loved the sport so much that they entered as contestants. Others hung up their contestant numbers and picked up a camera. Without these dedicated men and women, rodeo’s history would be a lackluster list of locations and participants. Instead, it is a rich, colorful tapestry, full of amazing moments captured on glass plates, film, and digital hard drives. This exhibit is a glimpse at the world of the rodeo photographers. 4 | ProRodeo Hall of Fame & Museum of the American Cowboy LIVESTOCK EXHIBIT The rodeo livestock exhibit returned to the ProRodeo Hall of Fame for the fifth year. Bucking horses Beaver Tail and Painted Fling from the Harry Vold Rodeo Company called the ProRodeo Hall of Fame home from May-August. This exhibit not only allows museum guests to see up close some great rodeo animal athletes, it also allows them to become educated on the PRCA’s animal welfare program and to learn about the care and treatment of rodeo livestock. Beaver Tail, 17, bucked at Prescott, Colorado Springs, and Cheyenne, was considered an eliminator horse during her career, but became such a good mom that she was semi-retired after her first foal. She is the mother of 6V Pillow Talk — a three-time NFR bucking horse. Painted Fling, 3, is an example of the advancing techniques that are taking place in the bucking horse industry. His mother is a cloned horse from Spring Fling. Painted Fling has been in the Vold breeding program since he was two. His sire, Painted Valley, was the 2009 NFR Saddle Bronc Horse and the 2010 Saddle Bronc Horse of the Year. Museum visitors had a special treat this year. Beaver Tail’s colt also spent the summer with us. He was two weeks old when he arrived. Each visitor that came during the summer had the opportunity to enter a contest to name the colt. The 2018 induction class were given a list of the top five names submitted and they picked the colts name. Below are some fun facts about the entries we received: Beaver Tail and Painted Fling arriving at the 507 - The number of entries ProRodeo Hall of Fame. 40 - The number of entries from Colorado Springs residents 39 - The number of states represented 20 - The number of people who entered the name “Painted Beaver” 11 - The number of names in the Top 25 that were suggested by more than one person 4 - The number of foreign countries represented in the entries 3 - The number of names suggested by more than 10 people 1 - The number of people suggesting the winning name Here is a sampling of some of the more unusual names suggested: - Painted Rhubarb Tart - Bunches of Grapes - Scratchy Butt - Apple Sauce - Painted Pancake - Chunky Monkey - Rank Frank - Johnny Cash - Potato - Castle Rock - Colt Mare - Chicken Nugget - Frosty Boots - Jimbo McNugget - Mr.

  • Attention Randy Bernard~CEO of PBR and Ty Murray~PBR President
    OPEN LETTER TO RESIDENTS of OKLAHOMA Dear Professional Bull Riders, Inc. (PBR): Attention Randy Bernard~CEO of PBR and Ty Murray~PBR President I am writing to urge you to eliminate the presence of ALL tobacco sponsors and messages during your bull riding events. Professional bull riding has moved into ranks of world-class sports and the eyes of the public are now fixed on the PBR athletes, who serve as heroes and role models for youth across the United States. Simply put, children emulate the actions of adults they admire, copying their habits-both good and bad. I have been involved with the sport of bull riding for over 20 years as an announcer, broadcast and print journalist, radio personality, spectator and, most recently, as a spokesperson for Buck Tobacco Sponsorship’s National Tobacco-Free Rodeo Project. The Buck Tobacco program targets rodeos and bull riding events throughout the country with requests to eliminate tobacco sponsorship. (www.bucktobacco.org). I have visited with over 150,000 children across the country to talk with them about the sport of bull riding, along with the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. Tobacco is not part of a healthy lifestyle and should not be part of bull riding. Numerous churches, schools and community organizations across the country are joining me in the pledge to support a tobacco-free PBR. Many of these individuals regularly attend PBR events with their children, and are disturbed by the tobacco messaging that is reaching kids at your otherwise family-friendly event. Would you encourage or allow your child to use tobacco products? Medical research chronicles the increased likelihood of heart disease and cancer as a result of the use of tobacco products.
