Pendleton has many claims to fame including their one-of-a-kind grass arena, the teepee village, and is the home of the first rodeo royalty breakthrough. Pendleton RoundUp is the only rodeo arena that is made out of just grass. They originally had it built so it could double as a football field for the local high school team. This also is exciting as it is what gives the “Green Mile” in barrel racing at Pendleton its name. The teepee village is one of the largest Native American Encampments in the country. This tradition dates back to the very beginning in 1910, and there are 300 teepees set up. In 1920 for the first time, the round-up showcased their rodeo royalty. This began one of the biggest traditions still to this day for the rodeo- the queens coming in for introductions as a highlight of the show.
So whether it’s watching the competitors give it their all on the infamous green field, taking a walk through history in the teepee village, or watching the rodeo queens ride in and jump the fence- fans can expect to have it all.
