History of Prescott Frontier Days

Prescott Frontier Days Rodeo is full of history which will come as no surprise, being trademarked as the World’s Oldest Rodeo. July 4, 1888, is the day that started it all. Becoming the birthday of professional rodeo it was the first day of the “cowboy tournament” where people from the community gathered to compete in cowboy contests for offered cash prizes. These contests continued to grow for many years, now 135 years to be exact. Hiring Harry Vold to provide top-of-the-line stock in 1972, the Vold Rodeo company continues to provide some of the best stock available today attracting top competitors within the PRCA. In 2008 the rodeo was inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
