The Pennsylvania State Police
Rodeo had its early beginning in 1921 as an intra-troop field competition, which later
gave way to what became know as the "Rodeo".
The "Rodeo" toured the state giving free field exhibitons to thousands of
Pennsylvania citizens, but by August 1974, the Rodeo was disbanded due to state budget
constraints.

Throughout the years, many
troopers participated in the Rodeo. Weary Willie and his clown car was a hit with
Pennsylvanians. His original outfit
along with other Rodeo memorabilia are now on exhibit. (Currently on exhibit
at PSP-HEMC)
