Live music takes the stage at National Western Stock Show
Sunday brought the Hunger Auction Pro Rodeo to the National Western Stock Show, on the ninth day of its 16-day run.
Other highlights included the Junior Market Lamb Show, the always-popular Wild West Show and Sunday evening it was Canadian Night at the Pro Rodeo at the Denver Coliseum, 4600 Humboldt St., Denver.
Live music, free with a general admission ticket, includes the Walker Williams Band “Country music with an altitude” at 1 p.m. on the Stockyards Stage. Many Denverites will instantly recognize the band’s ad jingle, “You take I-25 to exit 235 and 5 miles west to The Tree Farm.”
“It’s crazy we recorded that 23 years ago,” he said.
Williams said Saturday was the longtime Denver band’s first performance at the National Western Stock Show.
