The Cody Stampede Board of Directors is made up of dedicated local business leaders who volunteer their time to plan, manage, and oversee both the Cody Nite Rodeo and the Cody Stampede. These individuals devote countless hours to ensuring the success of the Stampede, making this iconic celebration possible each year. In the upcoming season, they will host more than 90 rodeo performances, including the Cody Nite Rodeos, the Cody Stampede from July 1-4, and the Cody/Yellowstone Xtreme Bulls on June 30th.
With support from national and local sponsors, the Stampede Board is offering a purse of $35,000 per event in added money for the 2024 Cody Stampede, earning it the distinction of the largest "one-header" rodeo in the PRCA.
Over the years, the Stampede Board has earned numerous accolades, including the prestigious PRCA Large Outdoor Rodeo Committee of the Year in both 1998 and 1999, the WPRA Large Outdoor Rodeo of the Year in 2014, and induction into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in 2019.
