It’s a rodeo that’s almost as old as the city of Pendleton itself. The Round-Up started in 1909 and has become one of the longest-running and most recognizable rodeos in Oregon. For this week’s Destination Oregon, Dave Jones takes a look at the history of the 108th Pendleton Round-Up.

The 108th Pendleton Round-Up starts in two weeks. The best cowboys and cowgirls in the land will compete in the historic rodeo, which wouldn’t be able to take place if not for the hard work of more than 1,400 volunteers.

For this week’s Destination Oregon, Dave Jones meets some of those volunteers and gets his own hands a little dirty too. Thanks to all the volunteers in Pendleton for everything they do to make the Round-Up possible every year. This year it starts on Wednesday, September 12th.

Thanks to the folks at The Prodigal Son for showing us around and a special thanks to our brand new Destination Oregon sponsor, Bi-Mart, for giving us the time and resources to take you to some of the tastiest and most interesting destinations across our state every Thursday night on Central Oregon Daily.
