The National Western Stock Show’s 2021 postponement has been disappointing for countless participants and attendees, even as it’s allowed the complex’s $1 billion construction project to push forward.
But its highest honor, the Citizen of the West, could not skip a year.
“I wasn’t expecting it,” said Ron Williams, the 74-year-old
business leader, philanthropist and former National Western Stock Show chairman who received the award this week. “But I knew I’d be terribly appreciative if I did. There are a lot of great candidates for it here, but I’m honored I ended up being the one for this coming year.”

DENVER The National Western Stock Show is proud to announce Ron Williams as the 2022 Citizen of the West. This prestigious annual award recognizes those who embody Western pioneers’ spirit and determination and perpetuate their agricultural heritage and ideals. A committee of community leaders selects recipients.
Williams has been selected for this esteemed honor. Still, in light of the 2021 National Western Stock Show postponement, he will receive the award at a dinner in January 2022 at the National Western Events Center. Proceeds from the event support 100 scholarships the National Western Scholarship Trust awards annually to students that attend colleges and universities in Colorado and Wyoming and major in agricultural science, rural medicine or veterinary medicine.
