Crooked River Roundup Foundation Dinner & Dance, Rodeo, & Parade – Our 2025 Crooked River Roundup Highlights!

Kendall Central Oregon is a proud partner of the Crooked River Roundup, and we are so excited to share the highlights from the incredible 2025 rodeo week! The Crooked River Roundup events kicked off with a dinner & dance fundraiser for the Crooked River Roundup Foundation, who provides education and scholarship opportunities for youth interested in ranching, farming, and animal welfare. The foundation hosted a beautiful dinner at the Crook County Fairgrounds, in addition to a live & silent auction and paddle raise to increase the number of scholarships available for students through community support. On behalf of Kendall, congratulations to the CRR Foundation on hosting another successful event that will support so many students, community initiatives, and beyond!

The rodeo kicked off on Thursday evening, with a record-breaking number of attendees in the stands each night. Kendall Central Oregon sponsored the barrel racing event, supporting with a barrel truck to set up the arena. Thanks to the Crooked River Roundup, we got to head out into the arena with the truck to shoot t-shirt cannons and throw cowboy hats into the crowd! Attendees who caught these special shirts received limited “not our first rodeo shirts” and we were thrilled to see community members wearing them at the annual Crooked River Roundup Parade! The parade, which makes its way through the middle of town, is one of the largest parades in Central Oregon. On Saturday morning, the Crooked River Roundup team, Rodeo queens, sponsors, and local businesses displayed their best floats, while throwing candy & giveaways to the crowd. But that’s not at all, there is more fun to be had with the Crooked River Roundup! We will see you back at the Crook County Fairgrounds July 9^th – 12^th for the Parimutuel Horse Races.
