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.
