G is for Golf, regular and disc!

Pendleton is the home of two beautiful 18 hole golf courses. The Wildhorse Golf course shown here is part of the Wildhorse Resort & Casino.

This is a picture of the Pendleton Country Club. Don't be fooled by the picture we don't normally golf in our Cowboy boots, this was taken at a Chamber of Commerce business mixer!

Below is the newest course, our disc golf course at Community Park! Come and enjoy the greener side of Pendleton!

Disc Golf compete with water hazard!

F is for Fine Craftsmanship

I am going to let the pictures do the talking. This is just a small example of some of the results of our artisans and the fine craftsmanship they are producing in Pendleton! AMAZING!

D is for Downtown!

Pendleton's downtown is alive and vibrant as well as beautiful and historic! We are so thankful to have such a beautiful downtown. Every year we have visitors come and they always tell us how much they love our downtown. No matter what the season downtown is the place to be! Its alive with great food and drink options, shops, music and art. A downtown for us to cherish and visitors to enjoy year round.

C is for Cologne

How many cities have their own cologne? Pendleton is so excited that this year Let'er Buck Cologne was released as part of the Pendleton Round-Up Centennial Celebration! If you haven't tested it you should it smells wonderful! Old Spice might be the cologne "The Man your Man Could Smell Like" but Let'er Buck Cologne brings out your man's inner cowboy. Hmmmm, picture all ready for a Saturday night in tight pressed jeans a starched shirt and that hat, boots and his Let'er Buck Cologne! Now that is a MAN any woman would want on her arm. Available in Pendleton at the Pendleton Round-Up store, Hamley & Co., Pendleton Woolen Mills, Tamastslikt Cultural Institute or online at http://www.leterbuckcologne.com/

B is for Brewery!

At long last Pendleton has a brew pub! Not only do we have one but we have a great one. The Beer is great, the food is good and the location in historic downtown is wonderful. The Prodigal Son Brewery is locally owned and operated by Tim & Jennifer Guenther who decided to return to Tim's hometown to open their dream and we are so glad they did. They are passionate about fermentation and it shows in their brews. But there is more than just brewing, they've got good food to boot. The Prodigal Son features a menu that combines traditional pub fare with scratch cooking. Here you will find regional ingredients incorporated into handcrafted cuisine.

Serving good beer with fun names including; A BEER NAMED SUE, WHEATSTOCK HEFEWEIZEN, LITTLE MAGIC PALE ALE, SPLENDOR IN THE GLASS, ELLA INDIA PALE ALE, CI-RAPTURE AMBER, SOLIDARITY ALT and BRUCE/LEE PORTER. For more information visit their website at; http://prodigalsonbrewery.com/

A is for Art

An Alphabetical countdown of all Travel Pendleton is so thankful of. The exhibits at the Pendleton Center for the Arts, Betty Feves Gallery, Hamley's Western Art Gallery, Northwest Mercantile and Boots Leonard Gallery.

The wonderful print work drawing artists from all over the world at Crows Shadow Institute.

The wonderful public art that graces our city including at least eight public sculptures and several murals. This is our newest Sculpture the Let'er Buck sculpture at the Pendleton Round-Up's new centennial plaza.

The two newest addition to the wonderful art collection at the Pendleton Convention Center from local artists James Lavadour and Don Gray. A lot of people don't think of art when they think of Pendleton, but this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to art. This doesn't even begin to cover all the art available here and we didn't even touch on the performing arts and great artisans building saddles, jewelry and more. We will leave that for another day.
