Harley Tucker Rodeo Series Award
This award is named in honor of the late Harley Tucker, a past northwest rodeo producer and stock contractor from Joseph, OR who helped found Chief Joseph Days in 1946. At the time of his death in 1960, he was one of the nation's largest stock contractors, providing stock and producing over 25 rodeos in the Northwest each year. Harley Tucker was inducted into the Pendleton Round-Up Hall of Fame in 1980, the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in 1997, and the St. Paul Rodeo Hall of Fame in 1999.
The Harley Tucker Rodeo Series Award, sponsored by Farm Supply Distributors and the Tucker family, formally known as the Harley Tucker Memorial Award, was first started in 1970. Recognized at the Saturday evening Chief Joseph Days performance with a hand crafted belt buckle and $3000.00, the award goes to the cowboy or cowgirl scoring the most points in a combination of the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show in Union, The St. Paul Rodeo in St. Paul, The Elgin Stampede in Elgin and Chief Joseph Days in Joseph. If the award is earned three times, the contestant receives an accumulating purse. In 1982, Butch Knowles of Heppner became the first three-time winner and earned $5,100. In 1990, Rocky Steagall of Irrigon became the second three-time winner and received $3,100. In July of 2008, Brad Goodrich became the third three-time winner of the accumulatve award and received $10,500. The next three time winning purse now stands at $2,500.00.

PRCA RODEO ANNOUNCER Steve Kenyon is one of the busiest rodeo announcers in the country, appearing at more than 40 rodeos annually, writing for two different rodeo publications, and hosting the radio program Rodeo Profiles.
Steve is still the voice of his very first PRCA Rodeo, the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show in Union, Oregon, which he announced for the very first time in 1993. Steve has twice been selected as the alternate announcer for the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo. He has again been selected to announce the Columbia River Circuit Finals Rodeo, this year will be his fourth Columbia River Circuit Finals appearance.

Last year, Steve was a part of the first annual Tribute to Chris LeDoux Rodeo in Casper, Wyoming.
