COURIER, RODEO, ‘JUNIOR BONNER’

through the Years

The Daily Courier began its 141st year on Jan. 31, 2022, as one of the few remaining entities older than the World’s Oldest Rodeo®. It started in 1882 as The Courier and has evolved and changed with the times over the years but has always covered the Prescott area’s news, happenings and milestones. Alongside our hometown rodeo, among the highlights and events over the years, the filming of the movie “Junior Bonner” is among the greatest. Screenwriter Jeb Rosebrook wrote “Bonner” in the summer of 1970 — a story about an aging rodeo star whose career, family and hometown are all on the line. Rosebrook found his inspiration for “Bonner” after a short visit back to Prescott on the Fourth of July for the 1970 World’s Oldest Rodeo. Jeb came to Prescott as a 9-year-old boarding student to attend the Orme School in 1945. Traveling to Prescott from Cordes Junction — through Mayer, Humboldt, Dewey and Prescott Valley — made a strong impression on him, especially the development of the wide-open spaces of the Fain Ranch, his son Stuart wrote in a “Days Past” article. The “Bonner” story and the subsequent “Junior Bonner” screenplay developed in late 1970 under the tutelage of producer Joe Wizan, reflecting Jeb’s love of Prescott and Yavapai County, its history, culture, and people. When presented with the script in late 1970 and early 1971, both Steve McQueen and Sam Peckinpah signed on quickly to star and direct the film, which was made on location in the real-time of the 1971 Prescott Frontier Days® Parade and the World’s Oldest Rodeo. In 1972, three other rodeo movies were released — “Honkers,”“J.W. Coop,” and “When the Legends Die.” It can be argued that “Junior Bonner” is the greatest rodeo movie ever made in Arizona about Arizona and Arizonans.

10 WORLD’S OLDEST RODEO® • 1888-2022

“The Courier is proud to be part of the heritage of ‘Junior Bonner’ and Prescott Frontier Days,” said Tim Wiederaenders, editor. “We’re entrenched in the fabric of all things of Yavapai County and Prescott’s past, present, and future.” Hundreds of other movies have been filmed in the Prescott area, including in whole or part: “Billy Jack” (1971), “Wish Man” (2019), “Gumball Rally” (1976), “National Lampoon’s Vacation” (1983), “The Karate Kid” (1984), “Universal Soldier” (1992), and “The Quick and the Dead” (1987). In the early 1900s, a single filming unit starring Tom Mix, made many more movies.

FIFTY YEARS AGO, THE CITY OF PRESCOTT WELCOMED A HOLLYWOOD FILM CREW & HELPED MAKE A

Western Classic

BY STUART ROSEBROOK, SON OF JUNIOR BONNER SCREENWRITER JEB ROSEBROOK

“Junior Bonner,” written by the late screenwriter and Orme School graduate Jeb Rosebrook, is a deeply personal homage to family, historic Prescott, and the small towns and ranchlands of Yavapai County. One reason the ﬁlm was successful — and remains a snapshot in time and history — was its location manager William Pierce, the local Arizo-na Film Commission representative, president of the Fair Association, and the Prescott Jaycees rodeo chairman. The local businessman was well connected, friend to all, and not intimidated by Sam Peckinpah or in awe of Steve McQueen. Pierce actually drove the leading man around on his motorcycle to get to locations during the parade sequence. Pierce’s local connections also helped secure a local track for McQueen and his son to race their dirt bikes.

Pierce was successful in landing the production of “Junior Bonner” for Prescott and Yavapai County because he recognized the locales my father Jeb Rosebrook wrote about in the script and was able to open doors to secure all the film’s locations. Pierce’s contribution to making the film a reality was so appreciated by the production company, the film ends with a heartfelt message of special thanks to the people of Prescott and Pierce. This heartfelt thanks we should continue to express, for without Bill Pierce and the generosity of spirit of the people of Prescott and Yavapai County, we would not be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1971 production and its subsequent release in 1972.

RODEO LIVESTOCK

The Humane Facts In professional rodeo, cowboys share the limelight with the livestock. Rodeo is a rugged, wild sport. Like a well-conditioned athlete, an animal can perform well only if it is healthy. Any cowboy will tell you he takes home a paycheck only when the animal is in top form. Specific rules govern how long an animal can remain in transit before a rest, how many times an animal can perform in a specified period of time, and that an inspection of the animals is required before each performance; any animals deemed not in top condition, do not perform. Additional rules govern facilities to be free of hazards to the animals, specify arena preparation, a conveyance for transport of injured animals, the use of fleeced-lined flank straps placed away from animal’s genitals, prohibit sharpened spurs by riders, and require the presence of a veterinarian on site for all performances. Stock contractors pay up to five figures for top rated animals. Naturally, this motivates care of these investments. For many, these animals are more than mere investments; they are “members of the family.” The average bucking horse, or bull, works less than five minutes a year in the arena, as a result they can live to be 20 years of age and 15 years respectively. Veterinarians attribute these long, healthy lifespans to good care, quality feed, and adequate exercise. Some bulls and horses have natural bucking tendencies. The absolute determination to buck if something is on its back, often an inherited trait, is what makes an animal a candidate for rodeo livestock. This tendency is the focus of the “Born to Buck” breeding program. Simply stated, “If everything is done right, when the animals arrive at the arena, they’re excited. They know the game and they’re looking forward to it. They are ready to buck!” Prescott Frontier Days® takes pride in the care and well-being of all animals used in performances of the World’s Oldest Rodeo®.

VOLD RODEO COMPANY

Photo by Blushing Cactus Photography

Kirsten Vold, Owner — The youngest of six children, Kirsten started taking over the Vold Rodeo Company when she was just 25. Since, she has built on the legacy her Canadian-born father began nearly six decades ago. It may seem like a natural progression, but Kirsten didn’t always see herself living on the rodeo trail. Home-schooled until her freshman year in high school, Vold grew up on the road, ensconced in the life of the cowboy and the excitement of the rodeo. After graduating from University of Southern Colorado in 1996 with a B.A. in communications, Kirsten decided to put her degree to work with a job in sports marketing and promotion. “If you ask me the No. 1 reason why I do what I do, it’s because of the animals,” she beams. “I love working with animals.”

80 WORLD’S OLDEST RODEO® • 1888-2022

Vold is now considered a trusted veteran in the industry, and her family’s company sets the standard by which all others are measured. Whether at the rodeo or the ranch, Kirsten’s horses are her life and she is committed to breeding and raising champions. In 2015 Kirsten was the recipient of the Tad Lucas Memorial Award and was inducted into the Rodeo Hall of Fame. The Vold Rodeo Company has been the stock contractor at the World’s Oldest Rodeo® for the past 50 years. Their legacy continues with the amazing bucking horses and bulls that they bring each and every year. More information is available at www.voldrodeo.com

The Legacy of

‘JUNIOR BONNER’

The World’s Oldest Rodeo® honors the classic Western on its 50th anniversary. B Y

STU A R T

R O SE BR O O K

Over Labor Day weekend in September 1970 screenwriter Jeb Rosebrook received a call from his agent Mike Wise. “Robert Redford wants a rodeo story. Do you have one?” Wise asked. Little did the agent know that Rosebrook had just written a first draft of “Bonner,” a short story about an aging rodeo star whose career, family, and hometown are all on the line. Wise also didn’t know that “Bonner” was a highly personal tale about my father’s adopted hometown. Rosebrook had found his inspiration for “Bonner” after a short visit back to Prescott on the 4th of July for the 1970 World’s Oldest Rodeo. Little did anyone know that the short story would change the fate of so many, so quickly — especially our family. My father, who first came to Prescott as a 9-yearold boarding student to attend the Orme School in 1945, had not been to Prescott since 1955, and the changes he witnessed while driving into the historic Yavapai County seat from Cordes Junction through Mayer, Humboldt, Dewey, and Prescott Valley made a strong impression on him, especially the early development of the wide-open spaces of the Fain Ranch. When presented with the script in late 1970 and early 1971, both Steve McQueen and Sam Peckinpah signed on quickly to star and direct the film for Joe Wizan. The reasons were many and personal on why they wanted to leave the confining nature of film production in Hollywood in the summer of 1971, but most important, they wanted to make the film on location in Arizona in the real-time of Prescott’s Frontier Days® Parade and the World’s Oldest Rodeo. Jeanne McLain of Prescott sits on the steps of the wardrobe truck with Steve McQueen during a break in the filing of the movie “Junior Bonner.”

82 WORLD’S OLDEST RODEO® • 1888-2022

Chase McQueen, Grand Marshal In honor of “Junior Bonner’s” leading man Steve McQueen, who was a major reason the film was produced in Prescott, his grandson Chase McQueen is the Grand Marshal of the 135th annual World’s Oldest Rodeo and Prescott’s Frontier Days Parade. The 27-year old Los Angeles native and son of Chad McQueen and Jeanie Galbraith is a former professional soccer player. Like his grandfather and father, Chase loves fast cars and racing when he is not working in social media management. Bill Pierce, Honorary Grand Marshal “Junior Bonner” is a deeply personal homage to family, historic Prescott, and the small towns and ranchlands of Yavapai County. One reason the film was successful — and remains such a snapshot in time and history — was its location manager William Pierce, the local Arizona Film Commission representative, president of the Fair Association, and the Prescott Jaycees rodeo chairman. The local businessman was well connected, friend to all, and was not intimidated by Peckinpah or overly in awe of McQueen. Pierce actually drove the leading man around on his motorcycle to get to locations during the parade sequence. Pierce’s local connections also helped secure a local track for McQueen and his son to race their dirt bikes.

These cowboys were all contestants and the Prescott rodeo - rode the rough stock, saddle broncs, barebacks and bulls.

Pierce was successful in landing the production of “Junior Bonner” for Prescott and Yavapai County because he recognized the locales my dad wrote about in the script, and he was able to open the doors to secure all the film’s locations. Pierce’s contribution to the making of the film a reality was so appreciated by the production company that the film ends with a heartfelt message of special thanks to the people of Prescott and Pierce. After a long career in insurance, Pierce continues to be very active in the Prescott community, working part time at Mortimer Farms and as board member of Prescott’s Western Heritage Center. He makes his home in Dewey with his wife Marcy. This heartfelt thanks we should continue to express, for without Bill Pierce and the generosity of spirit of the people of Prescott and Yavapai County, we would not be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1971 production and its release in 1972. Stuart Rosebrook is the editor of True West magazine. A resident of Prescott, he assisted his late father in publishing his memoir “Junior Bonner: The Making of a Classic with Steve McQueen and Sam Peckinpah in the Summer of 1971.”

Steve McQueen and Robert Preston ride the parade route as the ABC Film crew record the action for the movie “Junior Bonner” being filmed here.

The World’s Oldest Rodeo® is steeped in tradition. One such custom is the Grand Entry, which was first documented in 1920. It’s a time-honored tradition with an inspirational oration when more than 50 riders fill the arena. Featured riders include Prescott Frontier Days® (PFD) members, volunteers, competing cowboys and cowgirls, and rodeo royalty. Riders display colorful flags representing the featured sponsors of the 2022 World’s Oldest Rodeo. This is our opportunity to thank the sponsors who continue to support the vision and tradition of the World’s Oldest Rodeo, celebrating its 135th year at this arena! As our grand entry procession exits the arena, we salute in song and presentation of the American flag, the symbol of our country. As the flag circles the arena, please take a moment to remember the symbolism it represents: stars on a background of blue for “faith from above,” red for “courage,” white for “strength,” and blue for “justice.” Let these ideals guide our lives, each and every day. Additionally, on the 4th of July in honor of Military Appreciation Day, military flags are scheduled to be posted by the PFD grand entry riders. Please join us in paying homage to our veterans and first responders — past and present, home, and abroad. May they all return home safely one day! Rummel Eye Care generously sponsored the purchase of matching shirts, saddle blankets, and horse equipment for our pivot riders. We thank Rummel Eye Care for their support of the World’s Oldest Rodeo.

He is considered a great friend of Prescott Frontier Days® because of his longevity, loyalty, and the knowledge he brings to the sport of professional rodeo. Before each performance, he studies the contestants, gaining awareness of the latest developments in their rodeo careers. It makes for great rodeo when he can announce and discuss their latest accomplishments. He understands the sport of rodeo and it resonates with fans and contestants of this traditional rodeo. Randy is active year-round announcing professional rodeos (big and small) throughout the U.S. and is one of the announcers at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (WNFR) in Las Vegas every year, 18 times to be exact (1985- 86, 1992, 1994-96, 2007-2020). The WNFR is the Super Bowl of rodeos and draws people from all over the world. His knowledge, friendly demeanor, talented voice, and engaging personality makes every person attending the rodeo feel welcome and included in on the action. It truly is an honor to have Randy Corley in our arena every year! Please say hello to this rodeo legend if you get the chance.

1928 PRESCOTT RULES

Rodeo’s Rules of Wide Fame

Photo by Blushing Cactus Photography

By 1928 “Prescott Rules” had become “Rodeo’s Rules of Wide Fame.” They had been worked to a fine point by Lester Ruffner, former arena director; Doc Pardee, arena director in 1926, 1927 and 1928; and Grace Sparkes, secretary of Prescott Frontier Days® since 1915. By 1928, these rules had been found to be almost foolproof and had been copied and used at many of the big rodeos held throughout the country. Few complaints had been lodged against them or the judges during this era, and the Prescott rodeo was being held up as a shining example to be copied in other places where cowboy sports were featured. In 1928, many noted Wild West shows are conducted on the rules adopted in Prescott many years ago and made famous through their general acclaim by the show-following punchers. The rules, worked out first by Ruffner, the former arena director, and now adopted and expanded by the new director, Pardee, are held to be fair to all concerned, the show 94 WORLD’S OLDEST RODEO® • 1888-2022

directors, the participants, and the public that pays its money to take in the contests. With the big show, the 40th annual Prescott Frontier Days celebration started in 1888, less than a month distant, it is held to be not too soon to print the general rules for the contests, which follow: This contest will be held in the afternoon, commencing exactly 1:30 P.M. You can dance all night, sleep and recuperate in the forenoon, but be sure to be in the parade at 12:45 P.M. every day of the show. Every contestant must have his own outfit and be ready when called and no cowboy will be entered who is not willing to wear his big hat and boots at all times. If you are ashamed of being a cowboy, stay away from here.

The management assumes no responsibility for accident or injury to contestants or stock, and each participant by the act of entry or participation waives all claims against the management for any injury they or their stock may sustain. Management has the right to withdraw any contestant’s name and entry and refuse to allow stock to be used for any of the following reasons, to-wit: • “Rowdyism.” • “Quarreling with judges or officials.” • “Abusing stock.” • “Failure to give assistance when requested to do so by the arena director.” • “Not being ready for events when called.” • “Being under the influence of intoxicants, or attempting to take unfair advantage of rules.” • “The management is going to run a snappy program and every contestant will be required to lend his assistance to keep it going.” • “Any contestant refusing to ride, rope or participate in any event when called or withdrawing from any event in which he is entered, will be disqualified in all events in which he is entered.” • “Identification numbers will be issued and must be worn in a visible manner at all times while in the arena.” • “Every contestant must ride in every parade and grand entry. Failing to do so means disqualification.” • “There will be no substitutes in these contests. This is a contest of cowboy sports. open to the world of cowboys, who are sportsmen, so if you do not think you can win without help or if you are afraid of getting hurt, get a grandstand seat instead of a receipt for entrance fees.”

• “The management positively will issue no passes. Only contestants wearing official numbers will be admitted to the grounds.” • “Mounted parade contestants will be admitted to arena grounds only.” • “The management reserves the right to refuse entry of, or withdraw from entry, any contestant who has been dishonest in the competitions, or who has proven to be an undesirable character at any recognized cowboy contest, or elsewhere, and entrance fee shall be forfeited.” • “Any attempt to take unfair advantage of any rule in any event will result in disqualification of contestants from this and all other contests held under this management.”

• “Any contestant who protests the decision of the judges, automatically disqualifies himself. These judges are elected by contestants and are given their service gratis. Their decision must be respected.”

On behalf of the Rodeo Parade Committee, our parade sponsor Barrett Propane, and the many volunteers, we welcome you to the 2022 Prescott Frontier Days Rodeo Parade. This year our rodeo parade theme is “Celebrating 50 Years of ‘Junior Bonner.’” The first 4th of July parade took place in 1864 when Arizona was still a territory. Now the annual Rodeo Parade is a traditional part of the weeklong rodeo. After the rodeo parade, we invite you to continue your journey into the celebration of our rodeo and western heritage, visit the new Downtown Experience, our many historical museums, browse the work of local artisans where tradition lives on, visit our local shops and restaurants, and take part in this grand tradition. We hope you will return often to the greater Prescott area and enjoy the local atmosphere.

QUIRT HUNT

LUKE KRAUT

Quirt Hunt started his bullfighting career in high school rodeos, stepping in as a back-up.

Raised on a small cattle station in Queensland, Luke Kraut was born with a passion for livestock and knew that he would make his living around livestock.

Since then he has become one of Pro Rodeo’s top bullfighters. Good friend and rodeo announcer Hadley Barrett describes him best, “There are many responsibilities that go along with wearing clown and bullfighters makeup, and Quirt Hunt meets them all head on. He can protect a bull rider from a charging bull, to entertaining an adult audience, yet create the kind of image that a child can have as their hero and parents can be glad that they did. These are the kinds of things that go through the mind of Quirt the Clown and Bullfighter each day of his pro rodeo life. In my opinion he meets these qualifications and does them well.” Quirt was ranch raised and knows the value of man’s relationship with animals. This makes him a natural at bullfighting and protection. He also has a love for horses and established himself as a topnotch horse trainer. It is a treat to watch him ride and work horses. If you are fortunate enough to see him training a horse between rodeo performances, be sure to take advantage of it. It truly is amazing!!

At 15 he started entering some small rodeos in steer riding and novice bullriding then continued to ride bulls in Australia until the age of 19. He came to Arizona with some friends and went to an elite rodeo school and knew America was the place to be if you wanted to rodeo for a living. Luke thought that sounded like it was what he had been looking for and moved to Arizona permanently in1995. He fought bulls at an amateur level to supplement his living to get on his feet while starting a farrier service in the greater Phoenix area. Luke then got his PRCA and PBR cards and rode bulls for approximately six years, but he truly missed fighting bulls. Luke says, “Fighting bulls has been great to me, and it’s truly my passion, it has enabled me to see this country and to supplement my living and pass on this great lifestyle to my three sons and their kids, hopefully.” Over the past 12 years, Luke has been selected to fight bulls for the Turquoise Circuit Finals, he also got selected to work the 2019 RAM National Circuit Finals.

JUSTIN RUMFORD

Justin Rumford is making his way back to Prescott, Arizona to perform for the Prescott Frontier Days® in 2022! The 10-time PRCA Clown of the Year is excited to be performing in front of rodeo fans for the World’s Oldest Rodeo®, and he’s bringing the laughter as always! Rumford started his rodeo career helping the family stock contracting business, Rumford Rodeo Company of Abbyville, Kansas. He then moved on to steer wrestling and riding saddle broncs in junior high through high school and taking him to a full ride scholarship with Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva, Oklahoma. While competing for the college rodeo association, he also received his PRCA card in 1998. He made four trips to the College National Finals in both of his events and graduated with his bachelor’s degree. He went on to have a great career steer wrestling in the PRCA, with many trips to the Prairie Circuit Finals. However, in 2010 Rumford knew it was time to move in a different direction. Rather than making his buddies laugh behind the chutes, he wanted to try his hand at making the audiences laugh and add to the entertainment of the rodeos. He hung up his spurs and put on some baggies and clown paint, and that’s exactly what he has been doing ever since. He is now one of the most decorated entertainers in the history of the PRCA, winning the PRCA Clown of the Year a record-breaking 10 times (2012-2021), Coors Man in the Can in 2013, 2015 and 2018, and working the prestigious National Finals Rodeo in 2014 before moving on to host his own NFR preview and live viewing show in Las Vegas. He has now added co-host to his resume with a successful rodeo comedy podcast called “RumpChat” with his buddy Josh “Hambone” Hilton.

Rumford currently lives in Ponca City, Oklahoma with his wife Ashley and his 8-year-old triplets, Livi, Lola, and Bandy. “There is nothing more rewarding than being able to do what I love with my family right beside me,” he said. “I’m living my dream!” Photo courtesy of Junstin Rumford

TOUGH ENOUGH

to wear pink

Tough Enough to Wear Pink (TETWP), the grassroots cowboy campaign to fight breast cancer, celebrates its 18th anniversary. Through the combined efforts of hundreds of volunteers and regional rodeos across the U.S. and Canada, TETWP has raised over $37 million since its inception in 2004. The money raised benefits local breast cancer charities and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, which funds breast cancer research projects throughout the word. Tough Enough to Wear Pink was created when Terry Wheatley teamed up with former director of special events at Wrangler Karl Stressman and issued a challenge: wear the color pink during competition at the Wrangler NFR. The idea was to bring attention to the need for breast cancer early detection and a cure. While pink is not typically associated with rough and tumble rodeo cowboys, the industry and fans rose to the challenge, filling the arena with the symbolic color. Inspired rodeo associations began asking how they could put on TETWP events at their own hometown rodeos, and the grassroots fundraising took off, one rodeo at a time.

Photo by Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc.

In 2021, Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc. raised $9,900 from our Tough Enough to Wear Pink project. The money is used for Fry’s gift cards and donations to YRMC BreastCare Center for cancer patients in need. These gift cards can be used to help with prescription costs, food needs, and fuel to get to their treatment appointments. No administration fee is deducted, allowing 100% of the proceeds to go directly to those in need. Since 2006, Prescott Frontier Days, Inc. has donated over $54,500 to help local cancer patients. Profits from pink merchandise available for purchase at the rodeo will go to this community program. The amount donated will depend on the generosity of the community.

Those who 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 135 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.

During the 1980s, the wife of a PRCA cowboy conceived an idea to offer exceptional children a first-hand “rodeo experience.” In partnership with the PRCA, the idea became reality. Prescott Frontier Days® was honored to participate. After several years, the PRCA program was dissolved, but PFD continued the tradition, recognizing the need within our own community. All rodeo events are modified and take place on the ground so each contestant can be involved. There are no limits to what they can achieve as long as we help them believe. All participants are treated to dinner and the evening rodeo performance. A goodie bag is provided by the sponsors. In recent years, the partnership with Horses with Heart has expanded the program using resources of this locally based charitable organization directly designed to extend and enhance the experiences for our exceptional children. They are truly the “heart” in our rodeo. Please support this truly extraordinary organization.

Thank you to the Happy Hearts 2022 Sponsors The Prescott Frontier Days Rodeo Committee wants to thank all our Sponsors, Horses with Heart and Volunteers; past, present and future in making this event successful each year. BECKY, JERRY COCHELL, PRESCOTT FRONTIER DAYS®, INC., & HORSES WITH HEART

39TH ANNUAL

Old Timers Reunion

Each year, with honor and gratitude, Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc. hosts and welcomes cowboys and cowgirls who competed at the World’s Oldest Rodeo® prior to 1979. Believe it or not, we have several rodeo legends that live in the Prescott area and around Arizona. It is a time to stop, say thank you, and recognize the rodeo family that is legendary in many ways. Initially, it was by invitation only and was limited to those who lived only in Yavapai County. However, in 1988 during the centennial year, the invitation to attend was open to all those who competed before 1950 regardless where they resided. This reunion is open to past cowboys and cowgirls, their spouses, and rodeo queens who competed prior to 1979. The “Old-Timers” represent a special and unique breed of “cowboy.” Prior to 1948, rodeo was basically done by ranch cowboys. With the creation of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), professional cowboy athletes, who made their living from the rodeo way of life, began to emerge. The ranch cowboy found it difficult to compete with professional cowboys and one by one they withdrew from competition. Today, we celebrate those who join us on the final performance of each year. Many “Old-Timers” get together with other “Old-Timers” and reminisce about old days but also talk about what is happening in their lives today. It is truly a joy and honor to watch history in the making, and sometimes this reunion is the only time they see each other all year.

YOUTH As you watch the skill and dogged determination of rodeo contestants, have you ever wondered where they got their start? Youth rodeo began in the late 1940s with the inception of the National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA) and the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA). Since, many branches and types of youth rodeo have taken shape in various states and counties.

With these two core associations and the values they hold, the future contestants of Professional Rodeo and the World’s Oldest Rodeo will be great ambassadors to our sport! The PRCA has also initiated a youth rodeo support system through their PRCA Youth Camps. The camps’ mission is to provide a fun, positive rodeo experience as well as to unify and grow youth participation in core rodeo events. This helps develop a pipeline succession into ProRodeo and create life-long fans.

The NHSRA mission statement is a perfect example of what it means to foster core values and love for the sport of rodeo: “Promote the sport of rodeo and the highest type of conduct and sportsmanship and expose its positive image to the public. Preserve the Western Heritage. Offer a privilege of family bonding. Offer an opportunity of continuing education. Maintain the highest regard for our livestock.” The mission of the NIRA is to foster and develop rodeo at the college level so that it provides educational and competitive opportunities for students. The goals and purposes of the NIRA are to emphasize the importance of scholastic advancement and to: • provide, encourage, and promote opportunities for student members to pursue and complete postsecondary degrees at member institutions. • encourage the development of sportsmanship and humane treatment of livestock. • develop citizenship and leadership values and skills. • encourage prospective college students to enroll in member schools by providing funding and competition opportunities related to the sport of rodeo.

• encourage rodeo programs and provide opportunities and training. • promote competent and ethical coaching of student members. • stimulate and develop public awareness, understanding, and appreciation for the sport of rodeo as well as its heritage and lifestyle, and • promote rodeo on a national scale.

You can see these associations and events here at the Prescott Rodeo Grounds or around the area throughout the year. We encourage you to support them as they are our future contestants here at the World’s Oldest Rodeo!

CAMPBELL WILLIAM ‘CAM’ SMITH 19 4 0-2 0 2 2

Cam Smith was one of the fundamental figures responsible for shaping the World’s Oldest Rodeo® into what it is today, starting with the trademarking of the name of this iconic Prescott event 50 years ago. As the rodeo’s chairman in 1972, he hired Harry Vold to bring his bucking stock to the show, and his company has provided livestock every year since, now managed by his daughter Kristen Vold.

A Prescott Leader Cam was born in Illinois and came to Prescott with his family as a boy, graduating from Prescott High School in 1959 after being named the school’s first “most valuable football player.” He played football at Colorado State University and Arizona State College (currently known as NAU) and served in the Army before coming back home to work in his father’s construction businesses. Cam stepped up as the founding president of Prescott Frontier Days® after he and other leaders came together in 1978 to continue the rodeo uninterrupted when the sponsoring Prescott Jaycees organization folded. He stayed in that role through 1982 and returned for one more year, 1985, after $30,000 of debt had accrued. Prescott Frontier Days ended that year’s rodeo $20,000 in the black. He was active throughout the community he loved with the Kiwanis Club, Masonic Lodge, the Sharlot Hall and Phippen museums, Yavapai County Contractors Association, the Western Heritage Foundation, and other groups.

Wild at Heart But the rodeo was closest to Cam’s heart, and he continued filling the roles of director, chairman or assistant chairman through last year. He competed as a “mugger” for teams in its wild horse races in the ‘70s and won a championship buckle in 1979, which he wore proudly for decades. The eventual owner of his family’s Yavapai Block and Precast Company, he donated $6,800 in labor and materials to build the Prescott Frontier Days offices onto the back of the Freeman Building in the 1980s. Cam is remembered by family, friends, and all of Prescott as a guy with strong opinions and a heart of gold after passing away Feb. 3. He is survived by his wife Kitty, four children, nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. His family encourages everyone to donate to Prescott Frontier Days in his memory. 146 WORLD’S OLDEST RODEO® • 1888-2022

WHO WAS

Jack Daniel?

The character of Jack Daniel’s, the whiskey with the iconic black-and-white label on the equally iconic square bottle, is bound up in the character of Jack Daniel, the brand’s founder and first master distiller.

The Jack Daniel’s website suggests its founder Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniel was born in 1850 (the date on his tombstone); the Tennessee state library website lists his birthdate as Sept. 5, 1846; and in a 2004 biography, author Peter Krass says he was born in January 1849. Whatever his actual birthdate, his parents were Calaway and Lucinda Cook Daniel, and he was of Welsh, Scottish, English, and Scots-Irish descent. Jack ran away from home after his father died and was taken in by a local lay preacher and moonshine distiller named Dan Call, and he began learning the distilling trade. In 1875, after receiving an inheritance from his father’s estate, Jack founded a legally registered distilling business with Call. He took over the whole thing shortly afterward when Call quit for religious reasons. In 1884 Jack purchased the hollow and land where the distillery is now located. A physically small man only 5 feet 2 inches tall, Jack Daniel devoted his time to the ideal of making a whiskey that, thanks to charcoal filtering and other factors, he could be proud to sell at a premium price. He wanted his whiskey to be special so he used only the iron-free cave spring water on his property, along with the finest grains, filtering it through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal. Jack Daniel never married and did not have any children. However, he took his nephews under his wing — one of whom was Lemuel “Lem” Motlow, who was skilled with numbers and was soon doing all the distillery’s bookkeeping. In 1907, due to failing health, Jack gave the distillery to Lem and another nephew. Lem soon bought out his partner and operated the distillery for about 40 years. Jack died in 1911. For July 4, 2011, Jack Daniel’s launched a media blitz to celebrate the independent American spirit. A poster from that campaign reads, “56 men signed the Declaration of Independence, one man put it in a bottle.”
