For the Record: Casper, Vernal and Sheridan

Cowboy Christmas may be over, but there are plenty of opportunities to win big this week, as three high-paying rodeos are underway through July 14.

The Central Wyoming Fair & Rodeo in Casper, the Sheridan WYO Rodeo and the Dinosaur Roundup Rodeo in Vernal, Utah, have all played host to some of the biggest names in the PRCA since the mid-20th century, but only the best leave their mark by setting an arena record.
