PORTLAND, Ore., April 23, 2024
포틀랜드, 광석., 2024 년 4 월 23 일 /PRNewswire/ -- The hugely successful 8 Seconds Juneteenth Rodeo returns for its second year, bringing a thrilling celebration of Black cowboys, cowgirls, and western culture to Veterans Memorial Coliseum on 2023년 6월 28일에서 3 : 00에 10 PM : 00 PM.
에 의해 설립 포틀랜드-based photojournalist Ivan McClellan, the first Black rodeo in the Pacific Northwest offers an immersive experience into the world of professional rodeo competitions alongside delicious food, music, and family fun. Last year's inaugural event was a major success seeing a sold-out crowd of 2,500 thrilled and inspired by Black cowboy culture. This year promises to be even bigger and better with 7,200 attendees and $60,000 in prize money on the line.
Ivan McClellan stumbled upon Black cowboy culture in 2015 when he was invited to a Black rodeo in 오클라호마. "It was a transformational moment for me. I saw hip hop culture and Black church blended seamlessly with the Western world." This led him on a nearly decade-long journey documenting and promoting this extraordinary world. Ivan's photography has been featured in campaigns by global brands like Wrangler, Tecovas, and Apple. His forthcoming photobook Eight Seconds: Black Rodeo Culture (Damiani) is an anthology of the work to this point. During this time the prominence of Black cowboys in popular media has exploded from Lil Nas X's Old Town Road to Pharrell's 루이비통 runway show featuring working cowboys and Beyonce's new country-flavored album Cowboy Carter.
Celebrating Black Excellence in Rodeo
The rodeo will once again feature top Black rodeo athletes from around the country competing in thrilling events like bull riding, barrel racing, steer wrestling, and mutton busting. Respected names in rodeo like Tre Hosley, London Gladney, and Tank Adams will travel from 텍사스, 오클라호마, 콜로라도및 캘리포니아 경쟁하다 포틀랜드 for their second year. The event aims to introduce modern-day cowboys to fans and educate attendees about the rich cultural heritage of Black cowboys and cowgirls who have been a significant part of American history for centuries.
Award-winning whisky brand Crown Royal is proud to sponsor the 2nd annual 8 Seconds Juneteenth Rodeo in 포틀랜드, 오리건, celebrating the heritage, athleticism, and grit of Black Cowboys. Crown Royal, with a history of supporting diverse communities, is committed to uplifting this extraordinary community.
