Our Rodeo Photographers

Carbondale Wild West Rodeo’s history of capturing photos goes back to 2009. You can see how some of today’s contestants and volunteers have grown up through the years by glancing through our archives on Flickr. The tradition is rich, and we remain committed to digitally preserving these action-packed moments for generations and families to come. Today’s mutton buster could be tomorrow’s American flag bearer!
