PENDLETON — What started with
10 men and fi ve horses has grown into
an association that honors exemplary
men, women and livestock who embody
the rich history and heritage that the
Pendleton Round-Up and Happy Can-
yon Hall of Fame prides themselves in
protecting.
Since its creation in 1969, the Pendle-
ton Round-Up and Happy Canyon Hall of
Fame has inducted new honorees yearly.
Each spring, four honorees from the
Native American, contestant, volunteer
and animal categories are chosen to be
inducted.
Voted for by existing Hall of Fame
members, the inductees are celebrated
at the Round-Up during the inductee
banquet and are presented to the arena
on the Wednesday of Round-up week.
The new Hall of Famers are also given
museum display cases that show pic-
tures, memorabilia and other pieces that
highlight the honorees’ excellence and
contribution to the community.
The 2022 Hall of Fame inductees are:
NOMINEES
Grubsteak
Mining Co.
Family Owned
Since 1980
To become an inductee, a Hall of Fame
member must nominate the individual,
and the other members will later vote on
each category’s recipient. Those interest-
ed in becoming a Hall of Fame member
and partaking in this 53-year long tradi-
tion can visit pendletonroundup.com to fi ll
out the membership form along with the
one-time $100 fee.
Along with the inductee and members
display, the Hall of Fame Museum has a
variety of exhibits that showcase the cen-
tury long history of Pendleton. The muse-
um allows visitors to take a step back in
time to learn about wagons, fi rearms and
saddles while also appreciating the great
beauty of Native American regalia and
beadwork.
