(A Nonprofit Organization)
Welcome to the 83rd Sisters Rodeo!
We have provided the following information to help make your visit and stay more enjoyable and to help you stay updated on the events for our week-long event.
Directions: To the Sisters Rodeo grounds;
- From Sisters – go through the town of Sisters and head east to Bend on Hwy 20, we are located 3 miles the right, next to the Bend/Sisters Garden RV park.
- From Redmond -add
- From Bend
Parking. Parking for all contestants is in the back grass area left of the Kiwanis Buckaroo breakfast building (the “Golf Course”). All parking in front of the arena is reserved for the rodeo spectators. We do not have RV or camp hook ups, our parking is a dry lot. You are welcome to stay overnight, but please make sure to bring everything you will need, clean up after your horses, throw away all garbage and leave the “Golf Course” as nice as when you first arrived. We will provide as many garbage bags and cans as needed. Our volunteers and members work hard all week and the clean-up goes much faster when everyone helps out. Please do not connect your trailer to the water faucets directly unless you put a “Y” connector in as others need access for their livestock as well. Please do not tie your horses to the fences or water faucets for safety issues. Please use the horse alley way to the arena along Peterson Ridge Road when you are traveling to the arena. Thank you!!
Check-in. At the lawn of the Clubhouse there will be a tent and sign: “Visiting Royalty and Contestants Check in.” Here is the process:
- One of our members will provide you with information before you go to the main rodeo office. Please provide your name to confirm your arrival.
- You only need to check in with our committee member once,
- If you are returning for a 2nd performance and need additional tickets for your family please let our committee member aware of your situation.
If possible please have your PRCA or WPRA card on you at all times. This will help our security team in keeping our back gate area safe and protected. Please know that we will do our best to allow everyone who needs to be in the back area access but our security team doing the best they can over a week-long event.
Contestants get two tickets per performance extra tickets if needed for family members please purchase them at the ticket booth. You must have a ticket to get into the grand stands.
If you would like to ride your horse in the arena please make sure to do this 4 hours before each rodeo performance. Otherwise we do have a warm up arena on the West side in the back gate area.
When you check in at the main rodeo office with Edie (the rodeo Secretary) please make sure to sign the rodeo posters we will be auctioning off to help raise funds for local non-profits in our area.
We ask that non-contestants do not enter into the back gate area. This is a high traffic area for arena/contract personnel, media and competing contestants only and we are constricted with limited space.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact our Grounds Director Marcus Peck at mpeck@sistersrodeo.com or 541 317 9400.
Cowboy Channel. We will have the Cowboy Channel on site. Please help us in supporting their reporters if they would like to interview you in their broadcast. We will have committee members directing you to the location of the camera crew to help with set up and production.
If there is anything you need please let one of our Directors know-attached is their contact information and delegated responsibilities.
Thank you for coming and we hope you have a great time at this year’s rodeo!
