Those That Lend A Hand

Imagine the arena quiet, the pens empty, only dust and sky.

Rodeos, whether small or large, legendary or local, depend on volunteers and sponsors to bring a rodeo to life! To produce the World’s Oldest Rodeo®, and others like it, takes the community, one and all, their generosity in body, mind and resources. With the help of volunteers and funds contributed, arena floors are lovingly prepared, grounds and pens are prepared for incoming stock and competitors, grandstands are cleaned, repaired, painted, and areas stocked to await the faithful fans. Behind the scenes, budget and marketing promote rodeo, enlightening a new generation to the unique experience of rodeo.

Most rodeo organizations survive on a small group of individuals handling the day to day operations, but when rodeo season comes ... time, talent and resources are in high demand, but generally in scarce supply. It doesn’t matter your age, your physical abilities, your skills, or your economic status in the community, everyone is welcome, everyone is appreciated. Every job is important; every cent is valued.

Rodeo is not just a sport; it is a way of life, honored traditions and heritage founded on the open range. For Prescott, and other communities like us, rodeo is the principle that drives our communities, our citizens, and our moral character. To our volunteers and our sponsors, we owe everything! Without you, there would be no rodeo. For 134 years, we have shared our common love of rodeo. We are most humbled, and most grateful for your past and present support, and for the future, yet to come.

Sincerely, Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc.
