🤠 Throwback Thursday: Name That Cowboy (or Cowgirl)! 🤠
We're kicking off a brand-new Throwback Thursday tradition at the Sonoita Fairgrounds!
Every other Thursday, we'll take a trip down memory lane and share a vintage photo featuring a local cowboy or cowgirl who helped shape the rich ranching and rodeo heritage of our community. These photos were often taken right here in the Sonoita Fairgrounds arena, capturing moments from their younger days in the rodeo arena, on the ranch, and living the western way of life that helped build the traditions we cherish today.
Your challenge? See if you can identify them before we reveal the answer! In some cases, we may know exactly who they are. In others, we'll be counting on the collective knowledge and memories of our community to help solve the mystery.
Share your guesses, memories, dates, and stories in the comments. You might recognize a friend, neighbor, family member, or maybe even yourself!
