But the holiday doesnt end when the march does. Whoop it up tonight at the National Western Stock Shows King Day tradition: The MLK Jr. African-American Heritage Rodeo Champions puts the spotlight on African-American influence in the West, with a daring show of contemporary rodeo-style action, from bull riding to mutton busting, put on by stars of the Bill Picket Invitational Rodeo circuit. Things start shaking at 6 p.m. at the Denver Coliseum, 4600 Humboldt Street; admission ranges from $13 to $35. Buy tickets in advance at www.nationalwestern.com.
