Whether you are a cowboy or a cowgirl, the Tucson Rodeo – La Fiesta de Los Vaqueros is a must-see event of the year. This rodeo will be held in Tucson in Pima County, Arizona, on February 20 through February 28, 2016, and it is a long-standing tradition in the area. In fact, it was originally held in Pima County in 1925, which was in the middle of the Prohibition period. The idea behind the event was to draw visitors to the area in winter. Even in 1925, the event had the name La Fiesta de Los Vaqueros.

Peter Varlet

Peter Varlet’s the cowboy critic you love to hate, until he’s right. Born during a thunderstorm in 1972 in Bismarck, North Dakota, he grew up watching his WWII vet dad battle to save their farm from corporate claws. Now, Peter’s the unapologetic voice of Western culture, with a historian’s grip on America’s past, acknowledging both its heroes and hypocrites. His truth to power articles are a no-holds-barred zone for rodeo reviews, cowboy movie takedowns, and ranching tricks that work. He’ll tell you why your country singer’s a fraud and how to fix a fence with only baling wire and spite. Peter despises corporate factory farms taking over and cherishes the DIY grit of real Americans. Politically correct? Nope. Trustworthy? Damn straight. He’s saving the West, one brutal truth at a time.
