Once a year the tempo of the
daily life for residents in the city
of Pendleton changes from the
serious business mood to a time
of fun and frivolity as a bit of
the past is relived for a week
during the annual Pendleton
Round-Up.
A pageantry of cowboys and
Indians dominates the scene.
Businessmen shed their suits,
for western wear and Indians
from all parts of the northwest
re-create an; Indian village pfi
teepees on the ro u n d -u p
grounds. Spectators from far
and near gather to see one of
the finest rodeos in the nation
today where some of thè best
cowboys in the World compete
for top prize-money.
O n e o f th e g r e a t e s t
attractions at the round-uj) is
the annual Happy Canyon
pageant. The early days of the
western frontier are portrayed
when just the Indians roamed
the country and the coming of
the first pioneers and foot
soldiers. It is a spectacle where
one can learn about the
founders and builders of the
great northwest.
The Westward Ho parade is
another outstanding event as
floats of all description wind
t h r o u g h th e s tr e e ts of
Pendleton. Such early-day
transportation as horse-drawn
w agons, buggies, covered
wagons and people afoot are
featured. Nothing motorized is
a llo w e d in th e p a r a d e .
Marching bands, drum and
bugle corps join in the parade
adding color and rhythm.
The Indians come out in full
force dressed up in full tribal
attire and regalia. All ride on
horseback or are on foot as that
was the mode of travel in the
early days.
Indians participation carries
right into the rodeo arena
d u r in g .th e a fte rn o o n
perform ance where Indian
dancing is staged-in front of the
main grandstand. The dance
group is warmly welcomed and
appreciated by the thousands
of spectators. At that time the
contestants for the Miss Indian
princess are introduced to the
public. The judging is done on
the final day of the round-up.
There is never a dull moment
while one is at the Pendleton
Round-tip. After ; the ■ rodeo
and all the daily activities have
ended, there is the dancing in
th e p a y ilio n , a c a rn iv a l
downtown for the kiddies and,
and o f course, the big social
g a th e rin g a t th e Tee-pee
Tavern. T o round out the long
day, there are the Indian bone
.games near the Indian village
on the grounds.
When all , the round-up
events have come to a close, all
the businessmen reluctantly
don their business suits and
resume their normal activités.
And all the Indians tear down
their teepees, bid all their
friends farewell and head back
to the reservation.....
