Along with the rodeo in February they have a fair and a pageant and lots of things.

I'm not against rodeos, but I'd rather spend my time elsewhere so I never go. My parents and sister go almost every year though.
Heh, yup! How long do they get out of school there? In Pendleton, they get out for the whole week that Round Up is in session. They have events all around too, lots of carnivals!

All the animals there are the farmers' kids' 4H horses, cows, etc.

I agree, I'd rather spend my time somewhere else than at the rodeo. It's just not that entertaining for me. I don't care if anyone else goes, it just a personal entertainment preference!

In Pendleton, the kids on probation get to scrape the paint off the stalls and repaint them. Heh.
