S IX - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, July 12, 2000 Sponsors make rodeo possible SCRATCH PADS $1.00 lb. Gazette-Times • 676-9228 Marriage Licenses By Sue Gibbs, OTPR media chair Rodeo, saddles, buckles and lots of silver always go together. A trophy saddle or buckle always represents talent, determination, and lots o f guts. These beautiful pieces o f work are always admired by both the fans and contestants. However, none o f these things would be possible without sponsors who donate their time and money to support the sport o f rodeo and help attract world renown competitors. Last year fans watched world champions such as the Etbauer brothers, Mike Beers, Clint Corey, Fred Whitfield, Martha Josey and Katie McCom compete for the trophy buckles, money and saddle that are offered during the rodeos on Friday and Saturday night. At the same time the local Morrow County Jackpot Rodeo also offers outstanding awards to local contestants on Sunday. Without these magnificent awards fans would not see near the quality competition. Some o f the awards have a great deal of history and memory to them. The All-Around saddle that is given away each year at the Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo is a tradition. This saddle has been sponsored for 10 years by Gardner's Men's Wear of H eppiw . p u s trophy is hand- craftecPIiy Saddle maker Rich Boyer of Hermiston. Many professional contestants compete in events outside their specialty area in hopes that their talents will score high enough to bring this trophy saddle home. The second special award that is given to the champion PRCA calf roper in memory o f Mike Currin. He was a very talented cowboy from Heppner who was killed in a plane accident in 1991 while on his way to the Calgary Stampede. Family and friends raise money each year so a calf roping buckle can be given in his memory. On Sunday, during the Morrow County Jackpot Rodeo another hand crafted saddle is also given away to the Morrow County Amateur Calf Roper for that year. This award has been given away for 50 years by Kinzua Resources L.L.C. Even though the local mill is shut down now, the sponsorship continues on through the support o f the business. The Morrow County roper who has won less than $1,000 in his or her lifetime "calf roping" is eligible to compete for the saddle. The contestant may have won more money in other events, just not calf roping. Last year the saddle was won by Butch Knowles of Heppner. Some new awards have been added over the past few years to the pro show. Les Schwab Tire Center of Heppner sponsors the bull riding event and the added bounty money for the cowboy who draws and rides the "Bounty Bull" during each performance. This is an additional attraction for contestants and fans. Blue Eagle Travel also donates $150 in bonus money to the fastest time turned in by a barrel racer and Anipro also sponsors the Best Dressed Award each day. Each sponsor helps to put on the professional show. Without them, the rodeo could not bring in stock like the Big Bend Rodeo Co. provides or specialty acts such as Ike Pryor who will be this year's clown-barrelman. The Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo has 12 major sponsors from Heppner and local communities. These include Les Schwab Tire Center of Heppner, Coca Cola Bottling Co., o f Pendleton, Finley Buttes Landfill Co. of Boardman, United Rentals of Hermiston, Bucknum's in Heppner, Morrow County Grain Growers of Lexington, Morrow Cofififlf ” 'W heat Growers, Graybeal Distributing of Pendleton, Thunder Country FM 94.9 of Kennewick, Thews Sheet Metal o f Pendleton, Bank of Eastern Oregon o f Heppner and Gardner's Men's Wear of Heppner. The Sunday performance attracts many locals because of the great sponsors. Each event has a trophy buckle, watch or spurs donated to the champion of the local event. This year the champion buckle will have the Oregon Trail Wagon on the face of the buckle as well as green gems. The following sponsors contribute to Sunday's attractions: Green Feed and Seed, Peterson's Jewelers, Healy Family, Wrangler's Riding Club, Van Marter and Kahl Insurance, Pettyjohn's Farm-Builders, Heritage Land Company, Dick Temple DVM, Gar Aviation, Heppner Hardware/TrueValue, Paul Hisler, Jr., Turner Ranch, the Beamer Family and Les Schwab Tire Center. The 78th celebration of the Oregon Trail Rodeo will take place this year. Since it is the year "2000" the OTPR Committee will raffle off a millennium buckle much like the champion buckles. Tickets can be purchased at Green Feed and Seed, Van Marter and Kahl Insurance and Morrow County Grain Growers. Take some time over the next month to look at the beautiful work that has gone into making these awards for the 78 th celebration o f the Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo. The saddles, buckles and silver can be seen at Heppner TV starting in July where it will be on display for the public until rodeo time. From August 18-20, talent, determination and victory will earn this year's awards for the Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo and Morrow County Rodeo. OTPR reserve box seats available A limited number o f VIP reserve box seat tickets are still available for the annual Oregon Trail Pro Rodeo and Morrow County Rodeo, August 18-19.
