For your bidding pleasure is this Rodeo De Sante Fe Chavez County Sheriff's Award. The Rodeo de Santa Fe began in 1949 when Roy Butler, Austin “Slim” Green, Gene Petchesky, Paul Ragle, Paul Rutledge and few others had a dream and determination to organize a professional rodeo in Santa Fe, NM. This dream exceeded their ambitious expectations and today remains one of the top 60 PRCA Rodeos in the nation. Last year’s Rodeo de Santa Fe drew nearly 500 contestants, including many World Champion Cowboys and Cowgirls. This award was presumably given to the local Sheriff's department volunteers. This award was given in 1954 in Sante Fe, New Mexico and shows a bull on a shield banner with "El Torro Diablo" etched into the bull's barrel. The measurements of this plaque are 9 1/4" x 8 1/2".
