"Let'er Buck"

Starlog 091008

Today was one in many over the past 55 years of enjoying the rodeo show of the Pendleton "Let'er Buck" Round Up.I took allot of photos and videos, Kittee did allot of YaaHoo shouting, and almost lost her voice (had to doctor her throat with BV when we got home). I shall post all of today's video records on this blog entry as soon as I can get to Kittee's CLO-DSL connection.

Here is a glimps (still shots) of some of the FAST action in today's Pendleton Round Up. The bronc's chute opens, rider and saddleless horse goes against the 8 second clock...

in just 4.76 seconds.






















It only took three guys to get this fella back on his feet and walking back to the take-a-break area. Yep, Kittee and I both know how this feels. Being put in the dirt by a horse can mess up the rest of your day... right now.

Not only were there cowboy at the Pendleton Round Up, there were Indians showing everyone how to run horse races... bareback.






























A few of the folks from some of our local Northwest Native American tribes came to dance, as they have done in the Columbia River Basin for over the past 12,000 years.

PS: Kittee and I are now taking and making reservations for the 100th Anniversary Celebration of the Pendleton Round Up activities to be held September 2010. This will be a much expanded Round Up show, bringing back some of the old events such as Stage Coach racing, etc. All our family and friends are welcome to join us for that week's activity.
Be here -- sipping Pendleton "Let'er Buck" Whiskey with us--or be sitting there, be square.
