A joint resolution of the Senate and the House of Representatives of the state of montana supporting the 100th anniversary of the livingston roundup rodeo's 100 buckin' years event.
WHEREAS, in 1924 Charley Murphy, owner of the Ox Yoke Ranch, now known as the Mountain Sky Ranch, and other Livingston residents held the inaugural 3-day rodeo on Labor Day weekend, later known as the Livingston Roundup Rodeo, with $2,500 in prize money-equivalent to $43,300 in 2024; and
WHEREAS, the Rodeo was held on the "island"-now the Park County Fairgrounds-followed by a dance at the "island pavilion", with other activities occurring in downtown Livingston designed not to "imitate the Bozeman roundup" (quoted from the 1924 Livingston Enterprise, quoting the Bozeman Chronicle); and
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Senate and the House of Representatives OF THE STATE OF MONTANA:
That in 2024 there will be a celebration of the 100 Buckin' Years of the Livingston Roundup Rodeo.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that all are encouraged to help plan, develop, participate in, and attend the 100 Buckin' Years event in Livingston, Park County, Montana, on July 2, 3, and 4, 2024.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Secretary of State send a copy of this resolution to the Governor, all state agency directors, and to each member of the Montana Congressional Delegation.
