The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) created the ProRodeo Hall of Fame and Museum of the American Cowboy to recognize extraordinary athletes, both human and animal, in the sport of rodeo.[1] Induction into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame is the highest honor for rodeo contestants participating in the PRCA today. Contestants are honored in several categories on a yearly basis. The hall opened its doors in 1979.[2] Since 1979, 294 people, 38 animals and 32 rodeo committees have been inducted. More than 100 are nominated each year, but only a few are selected.[3]
Both the PRCA and the ProRodeo Hall of Fame are located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The ProRodeo Hall of Fame and Museum of the American Cowboy informs the public about rodeo.
