Description: For 100 years, friends have met at the Pendleton Round-Up during the second full week of September. What began as a simple celebration - Western style - at the end of harvest has grown into one of the largest four-day rodeos in the world. The centennial Round-Up will, as always, feature seven major Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association events, Women's Professional Rodeo Association barrel racing, Indian relay races and wild cow milking. Those lucky enough to hold rodeo tickets will also enjoy a trip back in time, as 26 committes have labored for years to make the 2010 Round-Up one that will celebrate history.
