The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc. Press is pleased to announce the upcoming release of "The Rodeo with Altitude: The History of Estes Park's Rooftop Rodeo" by Howell F. Wright. With forewords by Tom Glause, CEO of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and Gary Hall, Mayor of the Town of Estes Park, the 246-page book explores the history of Estes Park’s Rooftop Rodeo from even before the terms “rooftop” and “rodeo” were in widespread use.

The title’s public release is anticipated for later this summer, preceded by an early-access pre-order sale for Estes Park Museum Members, which will run June 15 - 27. In addition to early access, these pre-ordered copies for Museum Members will be signed by the author and will be sold at a 20% discount from the retail price of $29.99.

Pre-order access for new publications is one of many benefits available for Estes Park Museum Members.
