Pendleton Fun for the Whole Family
PLC’s Annual Meeting is taking place the week before Pendleton’s World Famous Round-Up! The Round-Up is one of North America’s largest and oldest rodeos, with a history spanning 113 years. If you are attending Annual Meeting, this is the perfect opportunity to extend your stay by a few days and enjoy a family vacation to one of the West’s most action-packed venues with parades, big-name country concerts, bull riding, barrel racing, team roping, and more.
If you’re staying in town for the rodeo, PLC has organized some Friday morning activities to keep you busy. When you complete your registration, be sure to sign up for a tour of either the Pendleton Woolen Mills (children under 12 not permitted) or the Pendleton Underground. Space is limited, so be sure to secure your spot!
