Cheyenne Frontier Days™ (CFD) is commonly referred to as the “Daddy of ‘em All”®—the world’s largest outdoor rodeo. The phrase was coined in 1919 when Cheyenne had gained worldwide recognition for having the biggest and best rodeo. Some folks credit T. Joe Cahill, who served as a committeeman that year, for the nickname. But, no matter who christened Cheyenne’s rodeo with the name, one thing is certain; each year since, CFD has lived up to its reputation. Cheyenne’s economy, bringing hundreds of thousands The “Daddy of ‘em All” ® continues as a leader in rodeo of visitors who pump a significant amount of money action.

  • 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.
