The 98th annual Pendleton Round-Up officially begins at 1:15 p.m. Wednesday in the Round-Up Grounds, but the festivities have been going on since Saturday.
Hundreds have already packed the Happy Canyon Arena for day one of the U.S. Bank Pendleton PBR Classic, attended the concert and lined up to watch the Dress Up Parade. The award-winning PBR event concludes Tuesday night.
At 1:15 p.m. Wednesday the cannon will fire to signal the beginning of the world’s largest four-day rodeo. Top rodeo athletes — from ropers to rough riders to barrel racers — will take to the unique grass infield in an attempt to gain final points in the standings for the National Pro Rodeo finals. Seats are available for all four days. In addition to the classic rodeo events, be sure to check out the Indian races and wild cow milking competitions.

The Pendleton Round-Up Board of Directors has taken steps to bring contestants closer to the Round-Up Grounds. The change, which will be permanent, will go into effect with this year’s rodeo.
‘We realize how important the contestants are to the success of the Round-Up,’ President Butch Thurman said. ‘The board made the decision to try and provide adequate parking on site and overflow parking within the very immediate area.’ Continue reading…

The 98th Edition of the Pendleton Round-Up is off and rolling this week as nearly 700 contestants compete for more than $400,000 is prize money. With the regular season coming to a close at the end of the month, Pendleton is an important stop for the cowboys.
Trevor Brazile, the sport’s five-time and reining world champion is one of the favorites to capture this year’s coveted all around title. “It’s a good rodeo. It’s the last big rodeo up here before we head south,” he said. “It’s the tradition and there’s a lot of stuff to like about Pendleton, not to mention the money.” Brazile has had good late-summer surge to pull away from the pack in the all around standings.

Christian "Sonny" Davis
Sonny Davis was born on January 2, 1935 in Carlsbad, New Mexico. The family finally moved to Kenna, New Mexico where Sonny spent the rest of his life. He was a student of his dad Red Davis who was a former rodeo rider and roper. Sonny also copied the ground work style of Toots Mansfield.
In 1966 the Rodeo Sports News Annual Edition called Sonny Davis, “The most explosive roper of the last decade. Some evidence of Sonny’s calf roping ability is the fact he’s never been out of the top 15 since 1956.” At 6’3” and 225 lbs. he possessed strength, catlike quickness and superb coordination, which is unusual for such a big man.

Bonnie Tucker Blankinship
Bonnie Tucker Blankinship was born July 24, 1914 in Joseph, Oregon to Ben and Anna Knapper. Bonnie’s mother passed away giving birth to Bonnie, so her grandparents, Dudley and Jennie Richards in Joseph, raised her. There, she attended school and graduated from Joseph High School in 1932. After graduation, she moved to Portland to live with Earl and Faye Riley. Earl was the mayor of Portland and many politicians remembered Bonnie as the most charming stenographer for several years in Portland’s City Hall.
In 1939, she traded in her high heels and city life for life on the ranch in Joseph, when she met and married Harley Tucker. There, she learned about raising sheep, cattle, swine and then started a family. Harley, who was always a cowboy at heart had already begun putting on rodeo-type events, entertaining the Civilian Conservation Corps camps at Wallowa Lake. Continue reading…
