It is one of the PRCA’s top 10 prize-money rodeos. The Pendleton Round-Up and Happy Canyon Hall of Fame was created in 1969, the first such hall of fame in North America started by an individual rodeo. Pendleton received the PRCA Large Outdoor Rodeo Committee of the Year Award in 2003, 2010 (they tied for the award with Cheyenne) and again from 2015-2018.
