The 2018 Mexican Rodeo Extravaganza.
Long before white settlers came into what would become Colorado, Mexican cowboys were riding the range. To celebrate that heritage, the National Western Stock Show hosted the 24th annual Mexican Rodeo Extravaganza on January 7, filling the Denver Coliseum with spectacular charro dancers, bullfighting, bareback riding and mutton bustin'.
