The National Western Stock Show and Rodeo Tuesday released official attendance figures for the show that concluded Sunday: 636,662 over the 16 days, an average of nearly 40,000 people a day.
Attendance was down from 644,818 in 2011 but still ranked as the sixth-best turnout in the show’s 106-year history. The biggest crowd was in 2006, the 100th anniversary, with 726,972 fans. The stockyards included more than 16,000 head of livestock, making the show one of the top five years for animal attendance.
