Question: What was the Greeley Stampede originally called?

Answer: In 1922, what is now the Greeley Stampede was officially named the Greeley Spud Rodeo. The inaugural event featured bucking bronco riding, fancy roping, a pie-eating contest, a horse race, motorcycle and bicycle races, and a two-mile Model-T Ford “free-for-all” race.
