In 1939, a troupe of eight rodeo riders accompanied by an RCMP officer travelled to Sydney to compete in the Royal Easter Show. The men were expected to compete in various rodeo events, as well as to sell handicrafts at the fair's “Indian village†where they also camped. International competition in rodeo was very rare at the time.
