Hall of Fame

Home > About Us > Hall of Fame

Over the past 100 plus years, there have been many people that have made a valuable contribution to the success of the Greeley Stampede. Simply the act of so many people giving their time and resources has made the event what it is today. Hundreds of community members have spent countless hours supporting the Greeley Stampede and a few of them have been truly the best of the best.

The Greeley Stampede Hall of Fame was established for the purpose of honoring these individuals who have made significant and long-lasting contributions to the Greeley Stampede. These special contributors have stood out by going above & beyond and are recognized by their peers as the cream of the crop.

To recognize the Hall of Fame inductees, the Greeley Stampede will be hosting an induction ceremony dinner Friday, March 1, 2024 at Zoe’s Café starting at 6pm. Tickets for the event will be available starting Thursday, January 25 at 10am online at greeleystampede.org at $45 for individual tickets and $300 for a table of eight.

Additional recognition will take place during the 102^nd Annual Greeley Stampede in June including recognition during the Sunday, June 30^th PRCA ProRodeo performance and display cases in the Events Center for each inductee with information and artifacts about their contributions to the Stampede.
