Join us for the culmination of the 2026 Parade of Pronghorns, featuring the live auction of our one-of-a-kind life-size pronghorn sculptures and artist-created euro mounts.
This event is free and open to the public, and everyone is welcome to attend.
Event Schedule
5:00 p.m. | Members-Only Preview
Rockpile Museum Association members are invited to enjoy early access to the event before it opens to the public.
6:00 p.m. | Open to the Public
Come explore the completed artwork, meet participating artists, enjoy food and refreshments, and take in the full Parade of Pronghorns display.
Approximately 6:30–6:45 p.m. | Live Auction Begins
The live auction will feature the life-size pronghorn sculptures as well as the artist-created euro mounts.
What Will Be Auctioned?
The live auction will include:
10 Life-Size Pronghorn Sculptures
Each sculpture has been transformed by a regional artist into a one-of-a-kind piece inspired by Wyoming, the West, our landscapes, wildlife, history, and community.
Artist-Created Euro Mounts
Our smaller resin pronghorn euro mounts have also been transformed into original works of art and will be included in the live auction.
These are truly one-of-a-kind pieces. Once they are sold, they are gone.
Can’t Attend? You Can Still Bid
We will not be offering online bidding during the live auction.
However, we can accommodate both telephone bids and proxy bids for those who cannot attend in person. Please call Tara at 307-299-1540 to get registered.
Telephone Bidding
A representative will contact you during the live auction so you can participate and place bids in real time by phone.
Proxy Bidding
You may provide us with your maximum bid in advance. A representative will bid on your behalf during the auction, up to the amount you authorize.
If there is a particular pronghorn or euro mount you would like to bid on, please contact the Rockpile Museum Association before September 10 so we can collect your information and make arrangements.
Auction Registration
Guests who plan to bid in person will need to register for the auction and receive a bidder number.
Registration will be available at the event prior to the start of the live auction.
If you know you plan to bid, we encourage you to arrive early so you have time to register and view the artwork before bidding begins.

About the Parade of Pronghorns
The Parade of Pronghorns brings together artists, local businesses, sponsors, and community members to celebrate Campbell County through public art.
Ten life-size pronghorn sculptures were provided to participating artists, who transformed each one into an original work of art. Following their debut, the sculptures will be sold at live auction to support the work of the Rockpile Museum Association.
The project celebrates the pronghorn as an unmistakable part of the Wyoming landscape while supporting local art, history, and community programming.
