Sunshine, rodeo and Pendleton® Whisky made it a great weekend in Oakdale, Calif.

During our time in Oakdale, we attended the rodeo and met so many great people! I am never shocked, but always pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the rodeo community. While we were at the rodeo, Pendleton® Whisky was flowing as smoothly as the conversation. We even had the pleasure to introduce some new fans to Pendleton® Whisky! They now have a new favorite libation, and we have some great new friends.

Oakdale is a wonderful destination, and I am happy to have new memories there, one of which includes a whole lot of creativity. On this trip, I helped a lady make a purse out of a Pendleton® Whisky bandana and lanyard. She was so excited to walk around with her very creative, brand new Pendleton® Whisky purse. I also enjoyed being a part of the process.

Oakdale definitely brought out the sunshine for us this weekend and we loved every second of it. With the sun shining, people were ready to head out and play! Thanks for the great weekend and great memories Oakdale, hope to see you again soon!

Until next time….Let’er Buck!!

Upon driving into Lubbock the scenery immediately reminded me of the movie “Lonesome Dove.” I can imagine why there used to be so many cattle drives here. The terrain is so flat – the opposite of what I see every day back home in Idaho.

One cowboy at the ABC rodeo put it best when he said to me, “Standin’ you can see 100 miles, but if you stand on a tuna can you can see 300 miles.” I enjoyed his wit, immediately understood what he meant, and quickly learned exactly what it was that makes Lubbock so special.

Everyone has heard it, but for the first time I really FELT the meaning behind the age-old saying “Everything is bigger in Texas.” If you’re judging by the size of their hearts, I firmly believe that the people in Lubbock live up to that saying. They are “BIG” into family, rodeo and traditions, and it was great to see them including us and Pendleton® Whisky into their way of life.

I left Lubbock amazed at how fast a person could make friends with these people and feel completely at home. One moment in particular that will always stick with me came among a group of new friends at Chances R. One cowboy in the group gave a toast to Pendleton® Whisky with a timeless excerpt of cowboy poetry – and he does it every time with something funny, sentimental or meaningful. I love that this tradition is being kept alive with the young and old.

Thank you, Lubbock, Texas. Let’er Buck,
