Product Description
Harry Vold produced his first rodeo in 1944 when he joined his brothers to put on the Asker Stampede near the little community of Asker in southern Alberta, Canada. Today, the Harry Vold Rodeo Company is the premier producer of rodeos including Cheyenne Frontier Days and the National Finals Rodeo.
Harry has been named Stock Contractor of the Year eleven times by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and is a member of both the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in the US and the Canadian Rodeo Hall of Fame.
Author Loren R. Whittemore worked closely with Harry to write an important segment of the history of rodeo. Through Harry s recollections and family memories, the author evokes the days when rodeo week was the highlight of the ranchers year and rodeo stock was driven on trails from town to town .

Duke of the Chutes March 29, 2010
Lynn Hiatt
This was a book of great historical meaning concerning the evolution of rodeo and Harry Vold. It was a book I could not put down. It was easy reading and I enjoyed all the pictures. This is a must read for anyone who likes rodeo
Great Book if you know anything about Rodeo March 9, 2010
June Ferguson (Enderby, BC)
This is just a great book if you have ever followed rodeo, i am only half way through the book. Harry Vold has done so much for rodeo, both sides of the border. I first met him as a teenager at a horse sale in saskatchewan, at one of Tiny Towes horse sales. My Dad Bernard Bouchard bought some of Harry's horse,s. Bernard originally owned the great bucking mare Sage Hen, we called her Easy MONEY.Bernard was an amateur stock contractor in southern Sask. Harry was just a terrific auctioner. He was always so professional, as a stock producer, rodeo manager, chute boss etc. He truly is a legend. I wish him well, also his whole family. Have followed their rodeo life for years.
