With just a handful of tick- ets still available for each day, fans still can keep up with the action. “This will be their fourth time here,” said Randy Thomas, publicity director for the Pend- leton Round-Up. “They came in the first time and their jaws just dropped. Just the grand scale of it all. We’ve made real- ly good friends with them.” The first two years the Wran- gler Network came to Pendle- ton, it offered just Saturday’s performance. This will be the second year offering two days.
