The California Rodeo Salinas is proud to have
more than 30 unique members in our Hall of Fame, which was established in 2010
during the centennial year of the Rodeo. These members have competed here,
worked here, served on committees and so much more, leaving their impression on
this not-for-profit organization. They deserve to be recognized for their
dedication and achievements and for contributing to the legacy of the 104 year
old California Rodeo Salinas. The Hall of Fame strives to preserve the
heritage, history and traditions of the California Rodeo Salinas along with
showcasing individuals, organizations and livestock whose distinctive
contributions to the California Rodeo Salinas have helped keep the traditions
of the West alive. The Rodeo is
