Everett Colborn and the World Championship Rodeo, 1937-1959

The Turtles and the Boston cowboy strike in 1936 created conditions where Col. Johnson sold his rodeo and the Dublin Rodeo was born.

Everett Colborn leased the Lightning C Ranch outside Dublin, and it became the base of operations for the World Championship Rodeo in 1937.

Gene Autry was a frequent star for the World Championship Rodeo and bought into the show, and for many years, he was a partner and a star.

Tad and Mitzi Lucas became a mother and daughter trick rider act.

Santa Fe’s Rodeo Train departed Dublin each year for Madison Square Garden.

The Colborn Bowl opened in Dublin in 1945 and for the next 15 years was home to the Dublin Rodeo.
