History
Ogden Pioneer Days was established in 1934 as a celebration of Ogdenβs early days. It was established to help secure the cityβs uncertain future. The Great Depression had hit Ogden as hard as any other place in America. In the midst of the chaos, Mayor Harman Peery devised a plan to capitalize on the rodeo interests of wealthy cattle ranchers, attract tourists, and lift the burdened communityβs spirit.

Peeryβs goals for the Western-themed festival were set high, to say the least. Among the guests invited over the years included Franklin D. Roosevelt and some of Hollywoodβs elite, such as the comedy duo Abbott and Costello but only the latter attended. Peery pictured the festival as a nationally recognized phenomenon. In fact, Ogden Pioneer Days has achieved all that Peery had set out to accomplish, and even more.
