The Ellensburg Rodeo is an annual rodeo event held in the city of Ellensburg, Washington. It is one of the oldest and most respected rodeos in the United States, and has a rich history dating back over a century.The first Ellensburg Rodeo was held in 1923, organized by a group of local cowboys and ranchers who wanted to showcase their skills and entertain the community. The event was an immediate success, drawing thousands of spectators from across the region.Over the years, the Ellensburg Rodeo grew in popularity and became a major event on the rodeo circuit. Top cowboys and cowgirls from across the country began to compete in Ellensburg, and the rodeo became known for its tough competition and high payouts.During World War II, the Ellensburg Rodeo was put on hold as many of the local cowboys and horses were drafted into the military. But after the war, the rodeo returned with even greater enthusiasm, and by the 1950s it was attracting national media attention.Today, the Ellensburg Rodeo continues to be a beloved tradition in the community, drawing tens of thousands of visitors each year. It is known for its exciting rodeo events, including bull riding, steer wrestling, and barrel racing, as well as its lively atmosphere and Western-themed festivities.In recognition of its importance to the community and its significance in the history of rodeo, the Ellensburg Rodeo was designated as a ProRodeo Hall of Fame inductee in 2000. It remains a proud symbol of the rugged and independent spirit of the American West.A special thank you goes out to Al Hirsch for providing the music for the podcast, check him out on YouTube.Find merchandise for the podcast now available at:     https://washington-history-by-jon-c.creator-spring.comIf you enjoy the podcast and would like to contribute, please visit: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/EvergreenpodIf you have any questions, episode ideas you'd like to see explored, or just have a general comment, please reach out at Historyoftheevergreenstatepod@gmail.comTo keep up on news for the podcast and other related announcements, please like and follow:https://www.facebook.com/HistoryoftheevergreenstatepodcastFind the podcast over on Instagram as well: @HISTORY_EVERGREENSTATEPODCASTYou can also find the podcast over on YouTube:http://www.youtube.com/@historyoftheevergreenstatepodThank you for listening to another episode of the History of the Evergreen State Podcast!

The young city of Ellensburg caught fire around 10:30 p.m. on July 4th, 1889, and by the time the flames were put out four hours later, ten downtown blocks and the residences of 200 people had been destroyed.While the location of the fire, what happened, and how the community rebuilt the city in four months are all known, the cause has never been established.Ellensburg, the county seat of Kittitas County, is three miles from the Yakima River and Wilson Creek confluence, at Washington's geographic center. The Kittitas band of Yakama Indians, as well as other Columbia plateau tribes, gathered at the site. The town was created in 1871 by John Shoudy and Mary Ellen Stewart Shoudy, and the first streets were laid out in 1875. Ellensburg became a city in 1884. The Northern Pacific Railroad came in 1886, and the town grew, becoming a banking and commercial center as well as a social focus for the Kittitas Valley's farming and ranching communities. Ellensburg was able to quickly rebuild following the fire on July 4, 1889, because to its prosperity.The Washington State Normal School (now Central Washington University) was founded in 1891 and quickly grew into a major employer. The downtown district was designated as a National Historic District on July 1st, 1977, and it is an excellent example of Western pioneer architecture. The annual Kittitas County Fair and Ellensburg Rodeo attracts world-class rodeo competitors and guests from all across the region every Labor Day weekend.Listen now to learn more about this central Washington town and the fire that left it devastated in July of 1889!A special thank you goes out to Al Hirsch for providing the music for the podcast, check him out on YouTube.Find merchandise for the podcast now available at:     https://washington-history-by-jon-c.creator-spring.comIf you enjoy the podcast and would like to contribute, please visit: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/EvergreenpodIf you have any questions, episode ideas you'd like to see explored, or just have a general comment, please reach out at Historyoftheevergreenstatepod@gmail.comTo keep up on news for the podcast and other related announcements, please like and follow:https://www.facebook.com/HistoryoftheevergreenstatepodcastThank you for listening!

Doug Williamson, an NRCHA Million Dollar Rider, is interviewed by Chris Dawson and Russell Dilday. Presented by One Fine Vintage! Doug Williamson has truly lived the Western dream life movies are made from. Born in the Southeast corner of Oregon, Doug was the oldest son of Sylvan and Barbara Williamson. Raised as a cowboy on the family ranch and riding a horse from the time he could crawl, Doug's first victory came at the age of five while riding behind his Dad in a match race! Doug's love for the racehorses grew and it wasn't long before he was on the tracks, himself. He also participated in Western events, winning his first buckle at the age of 8 in hackamore reining. At thirteen he won his first buckle calf roping, then, a year later when his dad was seriously injured in a riding accident, Doug took over the duties of running the family ranch. Sylvan Williamson always had an eye for great horses and purchased one that would turn into one of the best horses Doug would ever ride. His name was Baldy C. The horse could do anything and let Doug know what a truly great horse felt like. When Baldy C was 16 years old When Doug was 19, he rode Baldy C to become the high point working cow horse in the nation… a title they captured again two years later. At 17, Doug decided it was time to strike out on his own, and he secured a job as the cattle foreman for the Markham Cattle Company. While Doug was working on the ranches he always had outside horses in training, and he credits many of his skills to the old-timers he learned from. In the mid-sixties, he took a break from training full time and decided to rodeo for a living. On the road for about a decade, Doug calf roped, team roped, and rode a few saddle broncs, winning prestigious events all over the West, including the Ellensburg Rodeo. In1978 Doug went back to training full time in Nampa, Idaho, and for 14 years he trained everything from halter horses and cow horses, to English equitation horses. He made over 30 AQHA Champions in many different events and ranks among the AQHA's most successful trainers. In 1987 the world came crashing down on the Williamson family when Doug was diagnosed with cancer. He was near death in the hospital but still had his great horses on his mind. Doug pulled through cancer, and in classic fashion, was aboard Montana Lynx 7 months later, taking the reserve championship and winning over $20,000 at the Biggest Little Cutting In The World. In 1990 Doug was hired to help build the horse operation at the Tejon Ranch, so he packed up and headed to California. Being extremely busy he had sent his Dad on a buying trip to look for mares and studs for the ranch, and Doug had ended up with a little black yearling from the King Ranch that no one else wanted… he would turn into Doug's first Snaffle Bit Futurity Champion. In 1992 Doug and Mr. San Olen captured the Open title, and since 1990 Doug has made the finals nearly every year.
