By Annie Fowler

Rodeo fans around the
country will be able to watch
the final two days of the icon-

Wrangler Network.
The Wrangler Network will
livestream the action from Fri-

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.
The Wrangler Network also
offered livestreaming for the
Calgary Stampede, Cheyenne
Frontier Days, the Dodge City
Round-Up and the Reno Ro-
deo, just to name a few.
Fans can log into wrangler-
network.com at 1:15 p.m. each
day to watch cowboys com-
pete in bareback riding, saddle
bronc riding, bull riding, steer
roping, steer wrestling, team
roping and tie-down roping.
Other events include bar-
rel racing, Indian relay racing,
wild cow milking and Indian
dancing.
