Eddie “Mankins” Cole Memorial Rodeo success by Pat Leno With a touch of “down home,” the Eddie “Mankins” Cole Memorial Rodeo was held at the Shad and Jack Shad ley ro d eo a re n a in Madras on August 13 and 14. The second annual rodeo was sponsored by the nephew of the late Cole, Shad Shadley. Cole was well-known in rodeo circles as a roper, and in his younger days, as a saddle bronc rider. For many spectators and contestants it was a special rodeo not only because it was a tribute to Cole but also because it was a> rodeo in which cowboys and spectators alike could participate in the events, hoot races were held tor the “fat men,” and “fat women,” and a sprint across the arena for children 12 and under. The races were events which drew the e n tra n ts out of the bleachers to compete. All the monies for the races were donated by Tippy Jackson. An event that had a flair of imagination and which gave the crowds excitement, was the w a te rm e lo n ra c e . The watermelon race could be described as a free-for-all on horseback with the winner- takes-all. The race is a horse race, the contestants on horseback race to the other end of the arena, dismount, grab a watermelon, jump back on the horse carrying the melon and race back to the other end of the arena carrying the melon back making sure it is in one piece at the finish line. For the losers the only reward is the melon if they manage to carry it back without dropping it. The top money winner for the men went to Joe Scott of Warm Springs which earned him the All-around Men’s buckle. Joe took a first in saddle bronc and he and Danny Scott took second place in the team roping. The All-around women’s buckle was won by Penny Trubee of Madras. Penny took first in open barrels and second in novice barrels. Lee Tom of Warm Springs placed second in saddle bronc. The bareback was won by Jeff Thrasher of Prineville with a split for second and third between Tony Williams of Klamath and Ted Anderson, The team roping skills of Scott and Skip Ditmore earned Spiiyey Tymoo p h o to b y Leno them the first place monies in Sheer determination shows on the face o f Andrea Smith o f Warm Springs as she came out o f the, that event.

Open barrels top money winner was Penny Trubee with Sharon Granvance of Terrebonne in second place. The two-day rodeo ended with free barbeque held at the rodeo grounds for spectators and contestants. A meal of salmon, venison, salads, baked beans, vegetables and fried bread was served. For many it was the perfect way to end the second annual rodeo. Shadley said next year’s rodeo will be the final rodeo and he and his family plan a bigger arid better rodeo than this year. Next year there will be A ll- a r o u n d s a d d le s presented to the top winners for both men and women. “This rodeo is made possible through the efforts of many people,” stated Shadley. This year’s announcer for the rodeo was Bill Carter who was assisted by timer Georgie Miracle. Cows, calves and steers were provided by stock contractor Vic Woods of B row nstow n, W ashington. Bucking stock was provided by stock contractor Buck Smith of Warm Springs.
