More Arizona Trivia-Where Was the World's First Rodeo Held?

The answer, Prescott, AZ.  On July 4, 1888 Prescott hosted The Frontier Cowboy's Festival.  The Rodeo has continued every day since then. 

It all started in 1866, a group of Prescott businessmen came up with a July Fourth "cowboy contest" that would feature the best riders from area ranches and farms competing for a small cash prize at Whiskey Row bars.  Now the event draws thousands of people.
