Rodeo Roots and Inclusive Spirit | Denver News

This weekend, Golden, Colorado, transforms into a wild west carnival as the Rocky Mountain Regional Rodeo kicks off its 43rd year—drawing over 100 riders from across the country for a celebration of grit, heritage, and inclusivity. From goat dressing to bull riding, it’s not just about the competition but about breaking stereotypes and building community. Veteran John Beck, 76, still rides thanks to his dad’s timeless advice: “dust yourself off and get back on your horse.” Newcomers like Garcia look up to legends like Beck for inspiration and grit. The event welcomes everyone—no matter your background or identity—and tickets are just $20 for day passes or $25 for the full weekend. Head to the Jefferson County Fairgrounds via Sixth Avenue and McIntyre Road for a weekend packed with adrenaline, tradition, and heart.
