Denver - Event

People have come to Denver for nearly a century to buy, sell and see the finest in ranching stock during the National Western Stock Show. Over 600,000 visitors enjoy today's event at the Denver Coliseum, which includes the country's best indoor rodeo.

While the show bills itself as "the nation's most useful livestock event", for many visitors the high point of excitement comes with the rodeo events. The most dangerous of all is the bull-riding, while other diversions include a Mexican Rodeo show, an Evening of Dancing Horses, a Wild West show and a Llama Show.

The variety of the bovine and equine specimens on display here will amaze the greenhorn and a herd of secondary events adds to the festivities.
