PENDLETON â The Pendleton Round-Up Association is projecting confidence in reviving its rodeo for 2021, but its board of directors isnât yet sharing details on how it plans to operate during the COVID-19 pandemic. Pat Reay, the Round-Upâs publicity director, said the association is planning for a full slate of events during the second full week of September. That means not just the rodeo, but also the kickoff concert, parades and all the other spin-off events that come out of Round-Up week. The Round-Up signaled its confidence in March when it announced that Happy Canyon Arena would host the two-day Xtreme Bulls Tour Finale during Round-Up week.
