AGAIN this year! COWBOY CHANNEL COVERAGE

We are excited to again have national coverage of our Cattlemen’s Days Rodeo on the Cowboy Channel and Cowboy Channel + App. It is estimated that the Cowboy Channel and the App stream into over 43 million households and screens. By sponsoring Cattlemen’s Days, your banner may get covered in the app, and by advertising on the Video Board, it is more likely to be in the stream.

All Sponsorships include recognition by the announcer during each rodeo performance and
acknowledgment in the daily program, as well as the other benefits listed!

The Cattlemen’s Days Committee would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to those sponsors who have an unwavering dedication to the Gunnison Cattlemen’s Days Rodeo. Without your total dedication, the rodeo would not be the extraordinary event that it is. Therefore, the Sponsorships with business names attached to them are already taken.
