The Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo was formed by the Rapid City Chamber of Commerce Ag Committee in 1958 as the Black Hills Winter Show. The first show was held at the Pennington County Fairgrounds in 1959 with Black Hills cattlemen showcasing three breeds of cattle. Today, the Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo is produced by the Central States Fair and is Rapid City’s largest event featuring 10 breeds of cattle and a variety of activities which attract over 300,000 people each year.
