Your Invitation Since 1955, cowboys and cowgirls have been inducted into the

RODEO HALL OF FAME in Oklahoma City, a tribute to rodeo’s greatest legends and competitors who paved the way for today’s rodeo champions

BIG WEEKEND You are invited to join us at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum as we celebrate the careers of the 2013 Rodeo Hall of Fame Inductees and the Ben Johnson Memorial Award and Tad Lucas Memorial BIG FUN Award recipients BIG DREAMS The Benefit Auction is the sole annual fundraiser Event

conducted by the Rodeo Historical Society. In 2013, the RHS Board of Directors has set a goal for 100 percent of auction proceeds to benefit the organization’s projects.
