  • 2020 Rodeo Hall of Fame Weekend Postponed
    DRAFT September 17, 2020 Contact: Seth Spillman, Chief Marketing Officer [email protected] (Office) (405) 478-2250 ext. 269 2020 Rodeo Hall of Fame Weekend Postponed Rodeo Hall of Fame Class of 2020, along with 2020 Tad Lucas Memorial Award and Ben Johnson Memorial Award recipients, to be honored in 2021 OKLAHOMA CITY — In support of the nationwide effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum and Rodeo Historical Society (RHS) will postpone the 2020 Rodeo Hall of Fame Weekend. Originally scheduled for November 13–14, 2020, a decision on when the event will be rescheduled in 2021 is still to be determined. Updates will be posted on the Museum and RHS website at nationalcowboymuseum.org/rhs. “We continue to be creative and flexible in how we approach events in 2020, but given the size and logistics of Rodeo Hall of Fame Weekend, we believe the best decision is to postpone until circumstances allow us to properly honor these very deserving inductees and award winners,” said Natalie Shirley, Museum president. The 2020 Rodeo Hall of Fame Weekend inductees were chosen via popular vote by RHS membership. Inductees in both the Living and Deceased categories, as well as the Tad Lucas Memorial Award and Ben Johnson Memorial Award recipients, includes: LIVING - Ricky Bolin - Bobby W. “Hooter” Brown - Richard Neale “Tuff” Hedeman - Cody Lambert - Jerome Robinson - Bobby and Sid Steiner (father and son) DECEASED - John (1887 – 1973) and Thomas (1915 – 1981) Rhodes (father and son) - Jim W. Snively (1911 – 1998) In addition, each year the family of trick-riding legend Tad Lucas bestows the Tad Lucas Memorial Award upon a living female whose actions promote the values represented by Tad Lucas, while the Ben Johnson Memorial Award winner is chosen by committee each year to honor a living individual who represents the Western lifestyle as exemplified by screen and rodeo legend Ben Johnson.

  • Rodeo Cowgirls : an Ambivalent Arena
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Audra Leah Oliver for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Museums Studies, History, and Anthropology presented on March 17, 1994. Title: Rodeo Cowgirls: An Ambivalent Arena Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Don E. Mcllvenna The term "cowboy" was closely bound to American image long before the 1990s. Rodeo claimed the image of the cowboy from the earliest contests to the latest and pledged itself to patriotism almost as early. This historical study was conducted viewing rodeo as a subculture and relating women's role in the sport in terms of both subculture and over-all American culture. Research substantiated that the cowboy remained linked to the image of America at the time the paper was researched and written. Rodeo attitudes toward cowgirls reflect the ambivalence that cowgirls and American women in general found themselves facing internally and externally.
