Bullfighters
The Risky Road to GLory!

 

The Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum presents exhibit titled “Bullfighters: The Risky Road to Glory”.  Five Cheyenne Frontier Days  Hall of Fame members Wilbur Plaugher, Wick Peth, Quail Dobbs and famous bulls Crooked Nose and Mr. T, rodeo careers are highlighted as examples of how the dramatic role of rodeo clown into the modern day “bullfighter” has evolved over time.


This exhibit features the history of clowns and bullfighters at Cheyenne Frontier Days as well as captures the excitement and danger of the bullfighter’s trade.   Experience bullfighting from the viewpoint of these daring men and learn the tricks that kept them from getting “hooked.” Quail Dobbs, Wick Peth and Wilbur Plaugher each have contributed their stories, their skills and their experiences at Cheyenne Frontier Days to this world class exhibit.
