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. Joe and Danny

husband and wife team of Ray
and Kalea Benson taking

Springs and second went to
Penny Trubee of Madras.

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
