In 1947, the Cavalcade Rodeo was formed to keep the spirit of the old west and American ideals alive. Created by Alice Adams, a well known lady bronc rider and arena secretary, with the help of the Pawhuska Roundup Club and a magazine known as The Roundup, this rodeo has become the largest amateur rodeo in the world and it is located right here in Oklahoma. Two years later, in February of 1949, the Pawhuska Roundup club bought the sole rights to the Cavalcade and formed the Cavalcade Committee. Now, amateur cowboys and cowgirls from all across the world, come to show their talents and compete for trophies and prize money.
