Hermiston, Ore. – The Farm-City Pro Rodeo is once again redefining professional rodeo.

• Tie-Down Roping
• Bull Riding
• Barrel Racing (WPRA)
• Breakaway Roping (WPRA)

"This investment reflects our dedication to the sport, our appreciation for the athletes who compete here, and our commitment to keeping Hermiston on the map as one of professional rodeo's premier destinations."
