GREENOUGH, Mont. – The ProRodeo Hall of Fame invites those seeking an inspirational, adventure-filled, true Western journey to attend an immersion into all things rodeo. At Cowboy Experience, a three-day weekend event held Oct. 20-23, 2016, at The Resort at Paws Up, 50 guests will get up close access to four authentic rodeo legends and hone their equestrian skills under the tutelage of ProRodeo Hall of Fame inductees.
