Badger Mountain and War Paint
The Pendleton Round-Up is continuing a recent tradition this year with the fifth annual coloring contest for kids, age four to 10 years old. Kids and parents are invited to stop by the Pendleton D&B Supply and pick up their free coloring book, and an entry form for the contest.
War Paint, the famous bucking horse on display in the Round-Up and Happy Canyon Hall of Fame, is one of the pictures for the entrants to color. Peanuts, a famed steer wrestling horse also in the Hall of Fame, will be featured as well. Both War Paint and Peanuts continue the tradition of world renowned livestock being a part of the coloring and activity book the Round-Up publishes.
The coloring book and entry forms are available only at D&B Supply in Pendleton.
Carl Culham, Round-Up publicity director, says the coloring book was well received last year.
“The Round-Up is excited to be able to get kids and parents involved in another facet of our community-wide celebration once again this year,” he said. “It’s a lot of fun to have this opportunity to help kids and parents learn about the history of Round-Up and all of the ancillary events.”
“We at D&B Supply are very excited to take part in the Pendleton Round-Up and Happy Canyon Pageant again this year.” said Bill Arrington, D&B store manager in Pendleton. “The coloring & activity book is a terrific opportunity to help influence the younger generations appreciate our western heritage and lifestyle in Pendleton and beyond.”
The Pendleton D&B Supply is also giving away a free gift to all participants. Simply bring in a coloring contest entry and the coupon from the back of the coloring and activity book to the Pendleton D&B Supply to receive a free Schleich animal.
The coloring contest will begin September 5th, and go through September 10th, with the winners announced on September 12th at a cake and punch reception from 1-2 pm at the Pendleton D & B Supply. Prizes will be awarded in three age groups, age 4-5 years old, age 6-7 years old, and age 8-10 years old.
