Welcome to the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo
Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo Mourns the Loss of Linda Lucente
Linda Lucente, the Co-Founder of the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo died after suffering a brain hemorrhage.
She was taken off life support and died with her husband Jack by her side while children and family were in route. She was 59 years old. Linda co-founded the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo (BPIR) with concert promoter Lu Vason (BPIR President and CEO) in 1984.
Linda introduced Vason to rodeo when she took him, her best friend Joyce Reynolds, her sister Karen Motley, and her two sons Troy and Shane to Cheyenne Frontier Days on July 4, 1977 where they both thought it would be a great idea to produce an all Black rodeo.
Thus was born the Bill Pickett Invitation Rodeo.
Thanks Linda for your never ending contributions.
