Make a pit stop to meet Cowboy Willy, Willits' legendary roadside mascot--and soon Wilma, his life-size cowgirl companion!



Since 1967, this towering biker-turned cowboy has welcomed thousands of road-trippers and locals alike.  Now, our community is fundraising to bring an 18-foot-tall Wilma to stand by his side for the 100th Frontier Days Rodeo in 2026!


Hit the Rodeo Grounds, snap a selfie with Willy, and join us in making history.  Stay and ride the another famous icon - the Skunk Train and hang your hat at Inn at Baechtel Creek before you mosey on down the road!


Want to donate?  Donate of sponsor parts of Wilma---boots, hat, or name a belt buckle.
