The Rodeo
66 years in the making, people all over the state of Oregon love the rodeo in Prineville!
Professional rodeo action consists of two types of competitions – roughstock events and timed events – and an all-around cowboy crown. In the roughstock events bareback riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding a contestant’s score is equally dependent upon his performance and the animal’s performance. To earn a qualified score, the cowboy, while using only one hand, must stay aboard a bucking horse or bull for eight seconds. If the rider touches the animal, himself or any of his equipment with his free hand, he is disqualified. You can learn more about rodeos at http://www.prorodeo.com/

The Garner Group Mainstage 2011 Lineup:

Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter, Marc Cohn (8:30pm-10pm) and his full band will headine the Hullabaloo mainstage for a truly magical musical evening. Marc's career took off in 1990 with the recording of his critically acclaimed, self-titled debut disc, which yielded such classics as “Walking In Memphis,” “Silver Thunderbird,” and the lovely “True Companion.” A long-time pop music fan, Marc's most recent album, "Listening Booth: 1970" transforms songs from such artists as Cat Stevens, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Van Morrison, Smokey Robinson and Creedence Clearwater Revival into tracks that are warm, soulful, more than a little sexy and full of easy-going charm. These highly personal interpretations say as much about Cohn’s own history – his experiences, his memories, his inspirations – as about the legacy of these songs.

Oregon-based singer/songwriter/producer Franchot Tone (5pm-6pm) isn't a household name, thanks to his decidedly behind-the-scenes work on some of the coolest musical projects to emerge from the West Coast in recent years. But his sound is unmistakable: take a pitch-perfect pinch of vintage reggae and dub, a sun-fried splash of laid-back SoCal pop-rock, and a heaping helping of Meters-style funk and soul, and you've got Tone's brew. Over the past several months, however, a solo path has revealed itself, illuminated at every turn by someone else. Now, Tone is stepping up to the front of the stage for the first time. It's a new role, but one he's tackling with confidence and a sense that it's one he's meant to play. Over the past several years, Tone has built an impressive resume, both as a performer and as a studio wizard. His best-known work is as one half of the Culver City Dub Collective, the critically acclaimed band he shares with drummer Adam Topol. He has also performed on stage with Garth Brooks, Jack Johnson, Ozomatli, ALO and The Doors' Robby Krieger, and he has opened for The Wailers, Toots & The Maytals, and Michael Franti & Spearhead just to name a few. The list of artists Tone has worked with in the studio or produced tracks for is long, highlighted by Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Money Mark, Goldfinger, Tom Dumont (No Doubt) and Fredo Ortiz (Beastie Boys) and his own band, the Culver City Dub Collective.

The moniker MOsley WOtta (6:30pm-8pm) is a play on the words mostly water, which reflects the belief that we are all made up of the same elements. All living beings are mostly water. That, more than race or species or gender is what truly connects us all to each other.
This live HIP HOP Band encourages unity through music and the celebration of our commonalities. Front man, Jason Graham's background in theatre and poetry are closely woven into every musical performance.

Hullabaloo Kids' Zone

How to get here?

We've made it easy this year. Just hop on the new Hullabaloo shuttle from 900 Wall downtown, provided by GETIT Shuttle Service. It's FREE and service will be provided all evening from 4-10pm, with stops downtown at the top and bottom of every hour. See, we said it would be easy!

When you ride your bike to Hullabaloo, you can park it for the evening at the Commute Options Bike Corral. Bring your own lock and park it at the Corral on Fort Clatsop Street, next to Pisano’s Pizza. Commute Options encourages Central Oregonians to reduce their reliance on automobiles and we thank them for providing us with plenty of bike racks for parking. Don’t forget your helmet…

If you must drive, parking is available at Summit High School, High Lakes Elementary and in neighborhood streets. We ask that you be considerate of our residents and their landscaping when parking on the street, taking care not to block driveways.

 A huge, hullabaloo thank you to our sponsors:

Little Commuters Parade in the Old Mill District Kicks Off Commute Options Week!

Bend, Oregon, June 09, 2011 -- For the second year in a row, the Old Mill District and Commute Options have joined forces to help kick off Bend, Oregon's Commute Options Week with the "Little Commuters Parade." The event, which will be held from 8:30-10:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 11th, uses fun activities to promote helmet safety and to help educate young people about reducing pollution through choosing to walk or bike. Commute Options Week will be held June 11-17, 2011.
"Building awareness among the children in our community about choosing to walk and bike creates a better future for all of us," said Kim Curley of Commute Options. "That's why partnerships with area businesses like the Old Mill District and events like the Little Commuters Parade are so important in reaching the families of Central Oregon."
 
During Saturday's event, children will have stations where they can decorate their "vehicle", such as a bike, tricycle, scooter, skateboard or other non-motor-powered transport device from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.. Decorations and art supplies were generously donated by Trader Joes and the Art Station. The parade starts at 9:30 a.m., and it winds through the streets and sidewalks of the Bend, Oregon shopping area of the Old Mill District.
 
Throw in a raffle for a Nevaro bike courtesy of REI, gift baskets from Wonderland Toy Shoppe, flowers from TJs, colorful balloons, some surreys from Wheel Fun Rentals, street entertainers and more, and you have a fun event for the whole family!
