Clovis Rodeo - Centennial Celebration
As part of the Centennial Celebration, a bronze statue of Lane Frost and Red Rock depicting Lane Frost's legendary attempt to ride Red Rock at the Clovis Rodeo in 1988, was dedicated on April 23, 2014. Many dignitaries were in attendance to witness the dedication of this "moment in rodeo history", including Lane's parents, Clyde and Elsie Frost, as well as John Growney and Sue Rosoff. Visitors will see the 14 foot bronze statue by Jim Stuckenberg (website), as they enter the rodeo grounds.
