Citizens report the 101 Ranch Wild West Show delivered top acts but failed to meet Umatilla County expectations. Parades started late, crowds were small due to chilly winds, and broncho busting and stock feats underwhelmed compared with the longer running Round-Up. Shows offered novelty with a bucking buffalo but lacked the raw excitement of seasoned cowboys.
