WOW !!!! This is an awesome tribute to a man who deserves this so very much. This was well thought out and planned. Chris is smiling from ear to ear he'd be proud and so should the whole LeDoux family. I think all of Chris's fans will agree great job, my hats off you. You are missed, thank you for sharing all this and keeping his fans in the loop.

Looking at the pic of front gate and his 1976 title brought back wonderful memories. I bought an 8-track tape from Chris at the NFR when it was still in OKC. Few people knew of his music at that time, but I had been a fan since 1973. My hats off to all the people who had a part in making the memorial. I hope to be able to see it in person.

just stopped at Kaycee on Friday, July 16,2010. Loved the monument. I say Chris twice and being from a small town and rodeo background I can tell you I admired Chris more than any country singer out there. The town of Kaycee can be very proud of this powerful monument. I pray the best for his family and the power of country and western music.

Thank you for the pics. Being in NC, it may take me a while to get there, but I definitely want to see it in person. The park is wonderful, as was Chris - a truly great man and great talent! We miss him so much in NC. God bless the LeDoux family!

What a great tribute to an all time great!! Very touching tribute as well to the relationship that Chris and Peggy had together. Sure miss the excitement that I had each time a new album came out and rushed to the store to be the first to have it.

Visited sculpture garden while staying in the R.V. park near it and thought it was quite beautiful and restful - a place to meditate and enjoy nature. I'm sure the citizens of Kaycee are proud to have this in their town.

I hope I can see the park and statue in real life someday. It looks awesome in the pictures.
Chris was a terrific performer and I love his music. I was lucky enough to see Chris play in concert 3 times at the Butte County fair in Gridey California 3 times. Always a great time and great show. He is truly missed by many. This park will keep his legend alive!!!

AMAZING! I love it! I am grateful for this tribute to one of my heroes. He wasn't a hero to me because of his riding or singing, but he is a hero to me because he loved his wife and children and honored them by being a good man. THAT makes him a hero to me.

Out of curiosity...was Garth Brooks there when this was dedicated? I feel like he should have been. Just wondering.

The Monument is great memory to The Great Chris Ledoux it is a special place to go to think about what a great man Chris was and a great singer he was and his music lives on.

I loved the comment by dnvrdoll1966; he was my hero too because of his love for his wife and family.
I was also fortunate to be able to see him ride (many years ago) and to see a couple of his concerts. The last one was in Ft. Worth at Billy Bobs just before he passed away.
He will be forever missed.
I hope to visit Kaycee next week to see the monument. Can't wait!

My post is the one above---and I made it to Kaycee, WY from Northeast Louisiana.
The statue and park is a perfect tribute to a great guy and to all who loved him.

We couldn't make the dedication ceremony due to a prior committment. What a beautiful monument to a heroic and poised man. We miss you Chris, and our thoughts are always with your family and friends. Can't wait to get to Kaycee and see the wonderous piece of art that depicts such a courageous and loving man.

I have been a huge fan for many years. I was riding in my car with my wife when we heard of his death on the radio. Chris Ledoux sang songs that we don't hear from anyone else. I am moving to Wyoming soon and I can't wait to take my family to the park. My four year old daughter is almost as big a fan as I am.

My dad rode against Chris back in the day of Lane Frost and Charlie Sampson. I had the chance to meet him but was to shy, I kick myself everyday now that I didn't do it:( That is the most beautiful thing that anyone can do for Chris and his Family to show that he will never be forgotten and is always in the rodeo cowboy and cowgirls heart. I'm in Wisconsin now but I'm a true western girl from (Greybull WY) by the way of north ID. I love Chris's music now and then and will always love it from one rough stock rider to another

Wow, that is beautiful. A piece that would make Remington proud, or jealous. Certainly of the highest quality, and the artist was obviously as talented as they come. The entire park is simply stunning. I look forward to riding my motorcycle there, and paying my respects.
Simply beautiful! I can't describe it any better.

On the eve of his birthday, I came back to the website to see what had been happening and find this wonderful tribute. The statue is beautiful as is the park. I have loved his music since the late 70's and have fond memories of visiting with Chris throughout the years. I love the pick with Chris + Peggy. She is one special lady and I hope you are doing well. Hugs to all the family and thank you for sharing this great man with his fans. I know the highway from there to home was long sometimes...but we treasure the memories. God Bless CHRIS LEDOUX and his family!

I´ve never been to the US but the first two places I´ll visit one day when I´m there are Kaycee because of Chris and Menphis because of Elvis.
I've just learned about Chris's life and carrer a few months ago and he has already won a special place in my heart.
God bless you Chris Ledoux!!!!!

I am a farmer from Indiana. We went to Wyoming on vacation this summer. My 13 yo old son had become a LeDoux fan, and he brought his ipod full of Chris's songs. To humor him, we decided to stop at Kaycee. As we drove down from Buffalo, looking at that beautiful country, and listening to that music, and stopping at that tremendous park, I must say, I became a LeDoux fan. I can't stop listening. Thank you to all who had a hand in it. On an amazing trip, this was one of the highlights. Just wish Chris was still here!
To borrow from one of Chris's songs - Some folks made a living, others lived their dream.

The character of Chris's music is surely a reflection of his his personal character. When I heard of his death I was sad not for my loss but your loss, as he surely was dearly loved by all who knew him. I learned to love and respect his music back in the 90's, it's originallity and colorful representation of life. His music speaks and delivers the warmth of his love for life.
His memory will live on.
Thanks for such great music Chris.
A Legend never dies.
God bless the Chris Ledoux family.

My husband and I were in Kaycee for 12 days while they set the monument in place and for the dedication. Totally awesome and worth the trip. One of you asked if Garth was there. I held a beer for a fellow trying to juggle three and I told him he looked just like Garth Brooks. He said he gets that all the time. Could of been him??? I say it was and that's my story. Love Chris LeDoux's family. Love you Bud!

Let me tell you of the legend of Chris Le Doux’s love for God, his wife Peggy, the countryside and for all people. He always was, and will be, a legend, man of a man, with a heart of gold (I don’t mean pocketbook), who was never too proud to care for all people. I got acquainted with him, on a limited basis, on the 2nd floor lobby of the Stockman’s Hotel in Elko, NV. During the 1st and 2nd annual cowboy poetry convention, lots of the musicians gathered in the lobby and allowed out of town guests to join them. The musicians played ALL night long! When it turned one minute past midnight, Chris announced that it’s Sunday. Folks, let’s each give honor to God with a Christian song, As the legend of a man he was, and will always be, he said I’ll start. “Amazing Grace” rang out in that lobby. Not many kept a dry eye, I sure didn’t! Hits you right in the heart! One at a time, the other musicians took their turn, some promised to learn and include Christian songs in their repertoire. Second year, I returned. I had the privilege of seeing Chris and Peggy dancing together. She’s much shorter than he is, and she sure had green colored eyes. He was totally devoted to his wife. Chris allowed me the privilege to be part of a trick he played on a “friend” of his to teach him a lesson, the man was a selfish cowboy musician who story says later became a movie director. As Chris followed through on his promise of payment, to perform in Vale, OR and asked me to meet him backstage to talk. Unfortunately, I was married at that time to a selfish man, and no amount of begging would make my husband allow me to meet Chris backstage. Chris Le Doux was/is a man of his word, wow did he pack that high school gym!! When I became divorced, I returned to WI to get acquainted with nieces and nephews. That hasn’t even worked very well. Due to extreme circumstances, for years and years, I lost my memory of everything that was ever important to me. Now I’m stuck in WI without the $ or job to return home to the west. LESSON: You’ve got to find what’s in your heart and stick with it. The west is a land of freedom, and people who really know how to be a friend. A Legend never dies…thanks Chris, Peggy, cowfolk who gathered in Elko, NV, and other people who are real and honest

What a wonderful Tribute to an American Legend! He is deeply missed in our hearts but always remembered. I had the pleasure to attend many of his concerts and looked forward to the state fair every year because of his music. I too hope I get to see it in person one day! He is looking down thru the floors of heaven smiling and tapping his boot to the greatest songs ever. God bless his family and thank you for sharing such a wonderful gift with the rest of the world!

Just went on a 43 hr road trip through WY and Montana all to the soundtrack of Chris LeDoux! It was chilling when we pulled into Kaycee. What a great monument to a true role model who's music is under appreciated by the main stream but you know what, I kinda like it that way! Wish there was a way to post our pics from the park on this site!

God Bless Chris LeDoux! It's that simple! I'm a city girl, don't know much about rodeo, but I can tell ya, growin' up in Cheyenne means you know Chris or ya don't. And if ya don't, you don't know what you're missing. Ya ain't gotta be country to respect such a man. Love ya, Chris, there will never be another you! God Bless Chris LeDoux!

WOW!!!! I am blown away. What an amazing tribute. I finally got to see Chris at the Wild Horse Saloon in Nashville the summer of 2005. Being in Florida, it will take me a while to get there. Its on my bucket list near the top. Love and miss you Chris. Good Ride Cowboy

A beautiful tribute to a wonderful man. I was so very sad to hear about Chris's passing, he is one of my favorite singers, I love his voice. I am so very glad I got to see him in concert when he came to Rapid City. He was an amazing entertainer and incredibley handsome too. I am so glad he was an old fashioned family man, it gives a person hope that there are still men like him in our country. He is sorely missed but I'm sure he's an angel in heaven.

That's a beautiful memorial. I hope the Communist Chinese appreciate it when they come and take over.

My 4h Livestock judging team loved it. We stopped to check it out on the way too the NILE. It's very beautiful! We have judged in Nashville and stopped at Graceland. The front gates at Chris Ledoux Memorial park were far more spectacular than those at Graceland.
We will be stopping again with a new batch of judging kids and I am sure they will appreciate it also. Knowing all that Chris ledoux did for 4h and rodeo kids thru his life. Makes this a great spot to see on our travels.

Miss you Chris. Love your music. Your memory is everlasting. Your death was way premature for music is eternal and will live forever. (November 15, 2012)

We made it to Kaycee in June of 2012 a week after the c second celebration and found not only a beautiful park but also found Peggy working in the park. Had a real nice chat with her and got a chance to have pictures. We found her to be a very beautiful and friendly lady. For those who read this and do not know who Peggy is, she is Chris's wife.

This past weekend I drove from the Denver, CO area to Billings, MT. I didn't realize I would be going right past Kaycee, WY. Was lucky enough to be able to take a few minutes and stop to see the park. What a beautiful place! Ms Ledoux, you should be very proud!

This is awesome and very fitting to Chris... I hope to be back in Kaycee someday and see this park and montment. I'm also proud that I have a Christmas card signed Chris, Peggy and Clay that I received from the LeDoux's when I was rodeoing at the same time as Chris. Thank you Roy Haynes

I hadn't realized Chris had passed on, as I didn't watch much TV before I had it shut off. Garth Brooks was having a special and so I clicked it on and that's when I learned we had lost one of the best country/rodeo singers there ever was. Yes, I'll admit I cried. He was so young and a wonderful person. I got to see him in person before he was signed to a label when he appeared in Pendleton, Oregon in 1991. My girlfriend and I just loved his show and he was great. My middle son introduced to Chris's music in 1985 when he was living in Montana and have listened to him ever since. RIP Chris, you are dearly missed and may God watch over his family.

We have taken our horses to the Big Horn mountains several times but I didn't know about this tribute to Chris. I hope someday when we get back to Wyoming we can visit the park. It looks Awesome. I know Chris is looking down on it and enjoying the ride again. RIP Chris!

Rest in Peace Chris. There will never be another like you. I am hoping to get a chance to come see the park and your memorial next summer. God Bless you and your family.

I saw the monument when my fiancé and I were moving back to Montana from Nebraska. I took a few pictures of the park . Also my future husband was good friends with Chris he rode, hunted and played in Chris's band

I haven't thought about his music in years, it took me a while to remember his name. I'm not exactly sure why I started thinking about "This Old Hat", but it lead me here and that is a good thing. The meaning and messages of his music will help me continue my efforts to ensure that everyday is a good day, it's just that some are so much better than others!

I just discovered Chris this past year. It's without a doubt some of the best music I've heard. It's a great addition to my collection. My favorite is "8 second ride". I'm so happy I found him. I would love to see the monument someday.

Beautifully amazing!!! Couldn't be more fitting. Still saddens me of our loss of Chris. Chris is in Gods hands. But Chris will always be in our hearts.

Longtime fan of Chris. Thinking of him in the band today so got on the Internet and so happy to find this site and to see pictures of the beautiful tribute park. My favorite album is an oldie with the song about Will Rogers. My favorite singer and Oklahoma's favorite son, a great combination.

Got a chance to camp out above town and wake in the middle of a herd of elk there. Had a great breakfast in town and got to visit the monument. Hope to stop again and share it with my hubby.

I wish I would have known about it when I made a trip through Wyoming a few years back. Have loved Chris' music since Garth first turned me on to him years ago. Some of my favorite stuff. Wish I could have seen him perform live. Ride on Chris.

My husband and I traveled the whole state of Wyoming and made a point to stop at the memorial of Chris. The park is full of blooming flowers and well taken care of. The statue is a true likeness of him. We were told his wife Peggy takes care of the park. Would have liked to have met her and to be able to visit the store. You see his boot prints walking into the park is a nice thing to see. We are big fans of his and really miss seeing him in concert, it kinda hit us in the soft spot. Truly enjoyed!!

The monument is beautiful. I loved his music and still do. Met him about 4 times and he was always a gentleman. Heaven got a real Cowboy when he crossed the sunset. God Bless Chris LeDoux....you are sorely missed.

Looks absolutely fabulous and a fitting tribute to such a great guy. Tragically taken from us at such a young age.. Probably never get the chance to see it for real (UK resident)., but will through his music never forget.

I was at the park today. It was snowing and I took some amazing pictures. It's hard to believe Chris is gone. I always thought Chris was larger than life. Thanks to Ned and Western Underground we get to enjoy the spirit of Chris' music a little longer. I say "a little longer" because we're only here a minute. I drive a truck for a living and I've seen places that will take your breath away. I was not prepared for the emotions I experienced when I walked up to the park. I was the only one on the streets of Kaycee. After a lengthy visit, I walked up the street to the Country Inn and had a steak to unwind. I rode the rodeo for many years and the fondest, most vivid memories I have are me getting out of my truck at a rodeo and hearing County Fair blaring from the arena speakers. Good ride cowboy....good ride. We thank you brother. Rest easy under your beloved western skies....

Funny how we keep running in to other, even though he’s past some does a awesome job to remember the music and the western spirit only he could tell. Driving truck up in northwest listening to his songs and stoping some places he grew up.. These just good people. Yeah, we all miss Chris. Ride Cowboy Ride

We visited the monument while on vacation in July. Awesome tribute to a wonderful Cowboy. My niece who is in The Little Britches Rodeo had heard about Chris and when we told her we were going to visit the monument she was so thrilled. She couldn't believe how small his feet were but was so impressed with the statue. We then went across the street to the store and she asked me if I knew if that was his son working. I told her probably but not sure and of course she had to find out.
