In this special episode of Ride with Us, host Greg Mengarelli sits down with Danny Rogers, resident historian and lifelong rodeo volunteer, for a deep dive into the rich and rugged history of the World’s Oldest Rodeo in Prescott, Arizona.
From his first rodeo experience in 1964 to helping build the museum on the rodeo grounds, Danny shares fascinating stories, rare facts, and personal anecdotes spanning over 50 years of involvement.
Listen in as they cover the rodeo’s origins in 1888, the legends who walked its grounds, the evolution of its events, and the behind-the-scenes heroes who kept the tradition alive through wars, financial struggles, and a lawsuit from Trivial Pursuit. Whether you’re a rodeo veteran or a newcomer, this episode is packed with cowboy culture, community spirit, and Arizona history you won’t want to miss.
