Oldest Annual Rodeo in Colorado
Since 1885 the small town of Meeker Colorado has celebrated our western heritage with its annual Range Call festival. In honor of keeping tradition alive, the Range Call Rodeo is a big part of the fun. The first rodeo held in Meeker was in 1885 during the town’s Fourth of July celebration, and has continued every year since, making Range Call the “oldest annual rodeo in Colorado”.
Join us this year as we once again celebrate the Meeker Range Call!
Historical Reenactment
One of the most dramatic events ever to occur in northwestern Colorado was the attempted robbery of the Bank of Meeker which occurred on Tuesday, October 13, 1896.
The lightning-like promptness with which the robbers were disposed of was a tribute to the early residents of Meeker and notice to the world that frontier men were without fear and shot straight and fast when the occasion required.
