Since the days when Bill Pickett
first bulldogged a steer to the
dust. the Black cowboy has been
a symbol of originality an(j daring.
Today, that bold spirit IS embo
died in Black rodeos and their
dynamic cowboys.
The Adolph Coors Company,
brewer of Coors, Coors light and
Coors Extra Gold, * is proud to
bring the BiH Pickett Rod 0
to audiences across the nation.
From one original to ano r. lets
keep our tr ditions riding high.
