BROWN PALACE HOTEL PAMPERS GRAND CHAMPION STEER

January 23, 2015Posted in National Western Stock Show

Shared from NWSS Livestock Exhibitors Facebook Page
You won’t usually find a market steer in the lobby of a hotel, but in Denver – it’s a tradition. The National Western Stock Show’s Grand Champion Steer is escorted down a red carpet every year to be put on display during afternoon tea in The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa’s lobby. The prize winning steer is adorned with a garland of roses and is put on display for hundreds of people to see and take pictures with before he heads to the Auction of Junior Champions to be sold. You could say this is as close as it gets to a bull in a china cabinet…
