What Sisters Rodeo Is
Sisters Rodeo is a PRCA rodeo that has run since 1940 and calls itself "The Biggest Little Show in the World." In 1940 several local couples pooled $10,000 to start it, and early prize money was comparable to Pendleton and Cheyenne Frontier Days. Early grandstands and arena fences were built from timber donated by the Hitchcock Mill. Today it is community-owned, run entirely by volunteers, and focused on the rodeo itself rather than rides or a carnival. It has been named Columbia River Circuit Rodeo of the Year, and the organization gives more than $50,000 a year in cash and in-kind donations to local nonprofits, with a focus on youth programs and Western heritage.
