#136 BTC Classics: A Conversation with New York’s Betty Johnson

Mar 13, 2025

Welcome to the launch of BTC Classics Throwback Thursday—where we bring back some of our most inspiring and memorable episodes from the past!

To kick off the series, we’re revisiting a conversation with Betty Johnson, the driving force behind the New York State Rodeo Museum Facebook page. Betty shares her passion for preserving rodeo history, her vision for a rodeo museum in upstate New York, and her journey from barrel racing to helping establish the Empire Barrel Racing Association (EBRA) and the Empire Rodeo Association (ERA).

We also dive into the legendary rodeo stories from New York, the rodeo families that shaped the sport, and the importance of capturing these memories before they fade. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who loves rodeo history, community, and the stories that make it all unforgettable.
