CRR Flashback
Did you know?
During the war years there had not been any Rodeos and in 1944 with $320, a lot of energy and ambition, a group of local ranchers decided that Prineville needed a top notch Rodeo and decided to put one on. The purse for the Roundup in 1947 was $3,000. In 1993 it had grown to $5,000, and for the 1995 "Golden Anniversary" Rodeo the added purse had $8,250 and the purse for the Re-Ride 75 anniversary $50,000 with over $100,000 in payoff winnings!
