Pendleton Round-Up and Happy Canyon Facilities Improvements
$3,500,000
Sen. Ron Wyden (OR) requests $3,500,000 for:
City of Pendleton, Pendleton, OR
Pendleton, OR
Summary
The project is a $13.4 million improvement to create: 1) the Pendleton Round-Up Centennial Grandstand project, and 2) a roof, mezzanine, facilities, and entrance for the Happy Canyon facilities (adjacent to the Round-Up facilities). Structural issues associated with a portion of the grandstands at the Pendleton Round-Up, combined with the lack of a roof to protect people from the elements of extreme weather have put the nation's third largest traditional rodeo event in peril. Only through the completion of this project will this nationally-renowned project survive and thrive.
