ST. PAUL RODEO
Phone: 503-633-2011
www.stpaulrodeo.com
In 1935 eight St. Paul farmers and businessmen conceived the idea for the St. Paul Rodeo. Cowboys came from all over Oregon, 50 of them strong, to compete for a rip-roaring purse totaling $500. In 1940 lights were added for night rodeos and purses were increased. Growing crowds prompted construction in 1945 of new bucking chutes as well as a grandstand and bleachers that provided 9,000 seats. Eleven years later another section of grandstand was added to bring the present total seating capacity to 10,500. Today the St. Paul Rodeo, held July 1-4, is in its 72nd year and continues to pursue its goal of producing the finest world-class rodeo in the country.

YAMHILL COUNTY FAIR AND RODEO

The first fair in Yamhill County was held October 7, 1854, in Lafayette. Later the fair was moved to its present location on 30 acres off Highway 99W in McMinnville.
Sponsored by the Yamhill County Agricultural Society, the event in its early years featured bed quilts, butter, cheese, vegetables, cattle, sheep, hogs, farm implements, horses and mules. The event continues to celebrate top agriculture and farming efforts in the county and has grown to one of the area’s biggest summertime events, featuring famous singers and bands and one of the state’s biggest carnivals.
