We will premier our new film “From Cheyenne to Pendleton” Tuesday March 9th at 6pm at the Idaho State Historical Museum. 610 N. Julia Davis Drive. A discussion will be held after the film.

(While the film is free, standard museum admission fee of $5 per adult still applies)

Our new film explores the 25-year rise and fall of the western rodeo cowgirl through the lives of Idaho’s Bonnie McCarroll, Colorado’s Bertha Blancett and Washington’s Mabel Strickland.

The two-hour film follows their lives and achievements while it goes outside of the rodeo to answers the question of where did these talented women come from and what led to their eventual removal from the rodeo arena.

The film was made possible, in part, through a generous grant from the Idaho Humanities Council.
