Description
The Pendleton Round-Up is not the oldest rodeo in the country and not even close to the biggest. But according to the cowboys and cowgirls who compete there, it's one of the best - and far more than just a rodeo. This is the story of how, for the past 100 years, the people of small-town Pendleton and the Umatilla Indian Reservation have combined history, tradition and thrill-a-minute entertainment to help their community thrive.
