More importantly, the projected environment through to the end of the year is too uncertain and therefore not reassuring enough to allow a traditional Stock Show to take place without potentially compromising the health and safety of exhibitors, visitors, and the public at large.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe decision to postpone the 2021 Stock Show is incredibly difficult for our Board of Directors, staff, volunteers, business partners and the City and County of Denver,\u201d stated Doug Jones, Chairman of the WSSA, \u201cbut the iconic western events and traditions we all know and love will be back in 2022, stronger than ever,\u201d added Jones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the past several months, we reviewed and exhausted every option possible to host our event including a modified show with reduced capacity,\u201d said Paul Andrews, President and CEO of the NWSS.\u00a0\u201cUltimately, the health and safety of our guests, exhibitors, volunteers, and staff is of top priority and the NWSS and the City of Denver could not find a path forward to have Stock Show and comply with the rules that govern gatherings of our size and rules of social distancing,\u201d said Andrews.<\/p>\n<p>Stock Show management made the early decision due to the intense planning and expenses that go into the NWSS. \u201cWe needed to make sure we announced early enough so all the livestock producers, contestants, competitors, and exhibitors do not incur time and cost they can\u2019t recover,\u201d stated Andrews, \u201cand as an indoor event in the heart of winter, we had to consider the virus could be spread more easily indoors, potentially compromising the safety and health of thousands of people. The responsible decision was to postpone the show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Every January, the NWSS hosts the super bowl of livestock shows along with professional rodeo competition and horse shows that are celebrated globally. The trade show is the largest western trade show in Colorado with nearly 900 booth spaces throughout the 90-acre grounds. The Stock Show draws over 700,000 attendees during the 16 days in January with record days seeing over 65,000\u00a0guests on site. The NWSS drives an economic impact of nearly 120 million dollars in January alone. The show supports 4-H and FFA partnerships that span more than a century and supports over 100 students annually studying in the fields of agriculture and rural medicine at dozens of colleges throughout Colorado and Wyoming. All of this as a non-profit 501(c)(3).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would like to thank our loyal stock show fans that are standing by us through this unprecedented time in history,\u201d said Andrews. \u201cWe look forward to celebrating the return of Stock Show in 2022 with the grand opening of the historic Yards and Stockyards Event Center. Mark your calendars for January 8th through the 23rd, 2022,\u201d said Andrews.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>About the National Western Stock Show<br \/>\nEstablished in 1906, the National Western Stock Show is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that provides college and graduate-level scholarships in agricultural science, business, and rural medicine.
