Watching the Sisters Oregon rodeo last night on the Cowboy Channel I realized it was 49 years ago to the date (June 10, 1973) that I was on a bareback bronc at Sisters. It threw a wild horse fit. I ended up under it and got stepped on. Dislocated my elbow on my riding arm. Got a few months off from climbing on bucking horses.
The announcer last night said there was $10,000 in added money in every event. I don't think there was $500 added in 1973. Of course in 1973 Bend was a small community and Sisters was a wide spot in the road. That area has sure grown and lots of money has came in there.
