Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc. is a prestigious and nostalgic rodeo partly because of these two rodeo legends who are a large part of our rodeo production.

Randy Corley

Rodeo Announcer

Pro-Rodeo Hall of Fame Inductee 2017

Randy Corley is a rodeo legend who is well respected, trusted and known around the sport of professional rodeo. His accomplishments in the industry are impressive (to say the least) which include the induction into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in 2017 by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and respectfully named the Rodeo Announcer of the Year in 1984, 1990 through 1996, 1998, 2003, 2011 and 2015, also by the PRCA.

Randy has been the “voice of the World’s Oldest Rodeo®” for the past 36 years and many generations of rodeo fans, families and contestants have grown very fond of him for the past almost four decades. He is considered a great friend of Prescott Frontier Days because of his longevity, loyalty, and knowledge he brings to the sport of professional rodeo.

Before each performance, he studies the contestants competing in that rodeo and becomes aware of the latest developments of their rodeo career’s. It makes for GREAT rodeo when he can announce and discuss their latest accomplishments. He understands the sport of rodeo and it resonates with fans and contestants who attend this traditional rodeo.

Randy is active year-round announcing professional rodeos (big and small) across the U.S. and is one of the announcers at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (WNFR) in Las Vegas every year, 18 times to be exact (1985- 86, 1992, 1994-96, 2007-2020). The WNFR is the “super bowl” of rodeos and draws people from all over the world.

His knowledge, friendly demeanor, talented voice and engaging personality makes every person attending the rodeo feel welcome and included in the action.

It truly is an honor to have Mr. Randy Corley in our arena every year! Please say hello to this rodeo legend if you get the chance.

High Voltage Rodeo sound

Kirsten Vold

VOLD Rodeo Company

The youngest of six children, Kirsten started taking over the Vold Rodeo Company when she was just 25 years-old and, since that time, has managed to build on the legacy that her Canadian-born father began nearly six decades ago. It may seem like a natural progression, but Kirsten didn’t always see herself living on the rodeo trail.

“I was going to be a lawyer and drive a sports car and live in L.A.,” she said in a 2009 interview.

Home-schooled until her freshmen year in high school, Vold grew up on the road, ensconced in the life of the cowboy and the excitement of the rodeo. After graduating from University of Southern Colorado in 1996 with a BA in Communications, Kirsten decided to put her degree to work with a job in sports marketing and promotion.

“If you ask me the number one reason why I do what I do, it’s because of the animals,” she beams.
“I love working with animals.”

Vold is now considered a trusted veteran in the industry and her family’s company sets the standard by which all others are measured. Whether at the rodeo or the ranch, Kirsten’s horses are her life and she is committed to breeding and raising champions. In 2015 Kirsten Vold was the recipient of the “Tad Lucas Memorial Award” and was inducted into the Rodeo Hall of Fame.

Beau Schueth

Professional Bullfighter

Beau Schueth “Shoots” is a national bullfighter who grew up in O’Neill, NE. Rodeo had been something he wanted to do since he grew up watching the Clearwater Rodeo. When most young men want to join the rodeo circuit, they hop on a horse and start roping or they get on a bronc or bull and hold on for eight seconds. Schueth decided that while he still wanted to compete in rodeo, neither roping nor riding was a good fit. Beau Schueth, of O’Neill, decided to take the bull by the horns and become a bullfighter.

With a lot of work, he was finally the scheduled bullfighter for the 50th annual Clearwater Rodeo. Now, Schueth has made his way to the top and staked a claim as a national champion bullfighter. Some of his accomplishments include: 2015 BOA Finals Bullfighter, 2017 CBR Bullfighter, Bull riding Tour Bullfighter, 2017 to Present Tuff Hedeman, 2018 Roughy Cup Champion, 2018 BFO Reserve World Champion and 15+ Freestyle Bullfighting Wins.
