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.


The Hall of Fame banquet recognizing the 2023 inductees will be held on April 14th at 6pm at Zoe's Café in Downtown Greeley. Tickets to the event are currently sold out.
