The Ultimate Rodeo Experience

Get ready for an evening where every moment matters! The gates swing open at 6:30 PM, inviting you to step into the electric atmosphere of the Jackson Hole Rodeo. With all general admission seating, your early arrival is key to securing that perfect spot in the stands, ensuring you don’t miss a single breathtaking second. Bring your printed or e-ticket for a swift entry, and prepare to ride the edge of your seat as the courageous athletes defy gravity in bareback riding, bull riding, barrel racing, team roping, saddle bronc riding, mini bull riding, and more. Itโ€™s always inspiring to watch the cowboys and cowgirls pour their hearts into every ride. Their unwavering dedication and sheer grit showcase an extraordinary example of passion and perseverance to me. Don’t worry about hunger or thirst โ€“ they’ll have all your favorite rodeo foods and refreshing beverages sizzling at the concession stands, because come rain or shine, the show and the fun go on!

Generations of Grit: Feel the Legacy

Consider the power of a dream that began in 1890 when Sylvester Wilson brought his family over Teton Pass, laying roots for what would become Jackson Hole. More than a century later, that indomitable pioneer spirit shines brighter than ever through six generations of the Wilson family, who passionately uphold the rich Western heritage and thrilling traditions of the rodeo. Imagine the dedication of a family whose rodeo roots run three generations deep – from Clark Wheeldon’s bronc riding to Chancy’s world-class feats, the fearless bull riding of Buskin and Coby, and the professional barrel racing triumphs of Karissa and Sadee. Their story is a powerful testament to resilience and unwavering commitment. Even Philip’s work behind the scenes and with the Cowboy Church embodies their deep connection to this way of life. The Wilson family proudly continues to compete in team roping at the Jackson Hole Rodeo, and they personally invite you to be inspired by their enduring legacy and the true heart of the West.

Biography:

Howdy, I'm Megan deFabry. I grew up in Reno, Nevada, but since 2017 my heart has called Texas home. I now reside in Austin, Texas since 2020. I'm driven by my faith, cherished relationships with family and friends, and my professional ambitions. I'm passionate about digital marketing and journalism, especially the wide-open spaces of America's Western lifestyle, the grit of agriculture, the excitement of rodeo, and the heart of country music.

For nearly a decade, I've been sharing this way of life through storytelling. And like any good cowboy tale, there's a loyal sidekick, my little Dachshund, Frank, who I adopted from a shelter in New Braunfels, Texas, back in 2018. He keeps me grounded, reminding me to chase horizons and savor life's simple joys.

I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor of Science in Consumer Affairs and a minor in Mass Communication. My major taught me to decode consumer behavior, which is crucial for marketing, while my minor sharpened my storytelling skills. Since then, I've spent years mastering SEO and content strategy, staying ahead in a fast-moving field. My work even caught the eye of Cowboy Lifestyle Network's CTO, Irish Padmore, who recognized me for contributing to his research on Consumer Behavior in the Age of AI.

Since 2018, I've been honored to work at Cowboy Lifestyle Network. Now as Editor-in-Chief writing, editing, and publishing articles that capture the cowboy spirit, crafting strategies rooted in Western values, and building real client connections. Guided by ethical journalism, I aim to tell stories that resonate and reflect the unsung heroes of the Western spirit.
