Notes |
"The Grand National Rodeo, Horse, and Stock Show is one of the largest rodeo events in the United States. Held annually in the Cow Palace in Daly City, the annual Grand National brings rodeo to an urban audience. The Grand National is also a county agricultural fair, run by the California Department of Food and Agriculture... The Cow Palace was built to host the first Grand National Rodeo, then known as three separate events: the Grand National Livestock Exposition, the Grand National Horse Show, and the Grand National Rodeo, held simultaneously from November 15–22, 1941.[2][3] Further events at the Cow Palace were interrupted temporarily by World War II,[4] and the site was used to stage troops; the ten-day rodeo and associated events returned on November 15, 1946.[5][6] The third Grand National Rodeo was held from November 1–9, 1947.[7] The rodeo went virtual in 2020."
