CELEBRATING 25 YEARS !!!!
The Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo is an innovative, educational and exciting perspective on the history, challenges, and excitement of Black Americans in the western United States. It celebrates the life of the legendary Black cowboy Bill Pickett and other blacks who greatly contributed to the development of the west.
This season marks our 25th year of producing the rodeo and sometimes has been a lot like Bull Ridin' i.e., we get tossed around and jostled, but we stay on top. The ride has been worth it.
Most of the credit belongs to all the people that make the rodeo the great event it is; the cowboys and cowgirls, the sponsors, and the terrific fans who come year after year to see the some of the greatest riders in the world.
