The rodeo is a Colorado Springs tradition with the first PPOBR taking place in 1937, and since then has been a source of entertainment, a showcase of rodeo talent, and an economic driver for the community.
The NFR Open is a prestigious event along the Pro Rodeo circuit and carries a million-dollar purse for the winner.
