Pendleton 100 Yr Round-Up

This morning I got up early to be the first one on line to buy Rodeo Tickets for the Friday or Saturday Show. The reason behind going to buy the tickets is they have all been sold out for years on those days and these are the tickets people did not pay by the deadline, so they put them up for the public to buy. This is their 100 yr anniversary. So out the door I go at 7am with a friend who is buying them for her daughter. We drove up to the round-up grounds and not a person there. So we think well we have time and this is no big deal. We go and get something to drink and go to work for a while. That's when we get word we are at the wrong place for tickets. We rush down to the place to find a line around the building down the street. Over a hour later I get to buy tickets for the Saturday Show. 2 Of them. It was like owning the 2 hottest tickets in town. There was not much choice left but I was just happy to get them. My friend ended up buying 10 tickets for both days.
