Help Support
This Tucson Tradition
and
Become a Friend of the Rodeo Parade
The Tucson Rodeo Parade Museum
Needs Your Help!
The Tucson Rodeo Parade is
celebrating its 82nd year in 2007. That’s 82 years of Western
heritage! The Tucson Rodeo Parade Committee is embarking on a fund
raising effort to provide funds to improve its museum facilities.
The Rodeo Parade Museum, opened in
1964, has provided thousands of
visitors a view into the past.
Housing a horse-drawn vehicle collection of over 125 wagons and
buggies, the museum is located at the Tucson Rodeo Grounds, 4823 S.
Sixth Avenue. The museum is sited in structures that once were home
to the Pima County Fair livestock show, and the hanger of the
original
Tucson
Municipal Flying Field; the first municipally owned
airport in the United States. Needless to say, after all these
years, these structures are in need of renovation.
We are asking your financial
assistance in becoming a Friend of the Tucson Rodeo Parade. Your donation,
in any amount will help refurbish the museum facilities. The Tucson
Rodeo Parade Committee, Inc. is a 501c(3) tax-exempt organization,
and all donations are fully tax deductible. All donations will be
gratefully acknowledged with a receipt for tax purposes. Please send
your contributions to the address below. Help us keep the museum
alive!
