Why you should go…
Cattlemen's Days is Colorado's longest-running rodeo, tracing its roots to ranch competitions on Gunnison's Main Street in the 1880s and formalized in 1900. The PRCA-sanctioned event runs each July at the Fred R. Field Western Heritage Center and draws professional cowboys and cowgirls for bull riding, saddle bronc, barrel racing and team roping. The event also includes a parade, carnival, vendors and livestock exhibits.
