Former chuckwagon driver Pete Mullaney just celebrated his 90th birthday. To mark the occasion, a party was held on Saturday, March 6, 2010.

The event was well attended and saw many current and former competitors from both the chuckwagon and rodeo world in attendance. WPCA President Wayne Overacker presented Pete with a western sculpture of a racing chuckwagon to mark his milestone birthday.

Pete started his rodeo and chuckwagon career back in the 1940’s with Cliff Claggett. He competed for a number of years driving big wagons and pony wagons and eventually claimed the world pony chuckwagon championship. Two of Pete’s sons – Deryle and Dr. Doyle Mullaney went on to successful careers in the chuckwagon business. Pete was honored by the WPCA with it’s special tribute in 1995.

The WPCA would like to congratulate Pete and wish him a very happy 90th birthday once again.
