Wyoming The Cowboy State 1890 Mug

Wyoming is known as the Cowboy State, so it should come as no surprise that rodeo is Wyoming’s official state sport. From blue jean-clad residents to the iconic Steamboat (the bucking bronco from Wheatland who was unrideable for nearly a decade) appearing on Wyoming’s state license plates, rodeo is firmly ingrained in the heart of Wyoming. Wyoming has rodeos for everyone, and fans young and old flock to these events celebrating the art of cowboying. Almost every town, big or small, hosts a rodeo throughout the summer, where locals and visitors gather to watch amateur and professional rodeo athletes compete in their chosen sport. From bull riding to barrel racing, if this western culture staple is your thing, Wyoming is the place to be.
