Celebrating 75 Years of Chief Joseph Days in 2021 with CJD’s Stage Coach from 2004

"FEEL THE THUNDER"

 Always the last full week in July!

FEATURED PICTURE: With Dave Turner and Keith Waters at the 2004 Chief Joseph Days Grand Parade.
2004 was the first parade that I covered for the love of the event and the sport of rodeo before officially working for Chief Joseph Days Rodeo from 2010-2020.

2004 was the first Chief Joseph Days Parade that I covered while being the productions manager and freelance photographer for the Wallowa County Chieftain.  I ended up working for Chief Joseph Days as the Rodeo Program Committee Chair, Social Media Marketing Manager, and Public Relations Photographer from 2010-2020.

 

Chief Joseph Days Rodeo, an event and festivities that have grown into an amazing medium-size rodeo featuring four PRCA performances with world-class competitors, Nez Perce Encampment Pavilion festivities, up-town shopping, entertainment galore, and so much more…
Chief Joseph Days is not only #PRCA #ProRodeo where you can “Feel the Thunder”, but it is also -The Rodeo with a View- in Wallowa County, Oregon!!!
