Roundup Exhibition Aims at Northwest Fame in Pendleton
Pendleton promoters unveil The Roundup, a three day Northwest frontier show to debut September 29 to October 1. Organized by Northwestern Frontier Exhibition Association, the event plans brutal bronco busting, roping dual teams, relay races, pony express, tug of war, plate shooting, and Indian parades with Umatilla Indians. Cavalry, artillery demonstrations, and a one mile track with grandstand will anchor the program, funded by shares to build a larger future. Receipts fund growth rather than profits, and outside attendance is expected to surge Pendleton’s profile.
