The Elgin Stampede Mission Statement:
   

As Stampeders we will always further the heritage and
traditions of rural Oregon as set forth by our founders decades ago.  We strive to promote civic participation, to encourage cooperation with civic enterprises, and to encourage any and all quality horse and equestrian activity.  We also strive to continue to make our facility available to the many local and regional community organizations, for their recreational and business uses.  This mission can and will be obtainable through the utilization of local talents and the determination by our officers and directors for the continued success of the Elgin Stampede. 

 

 
 

 

 
 
 
Stampede History
 
In 1946 an informal conversation between townsmen led to the development of an annual celebration and rodeo that would bring the area’s residents together to celebrate their way of life, preserve the traditions of the Old West, and also draw folks from surrounding areas to share in this celebration.  Now in its 64th year, The Elgin Stampede alone draws an average of 5,000 spectators and participants each year. 
 
 
 
  
 Message from the President
 

Welcome to the Stampeders' 65th anniversary!  As president of our organization I want to personally say ‘thank you’ to each and every Stampede officer, director, sponsor, volunteer, spectator, and contestant!  Because of people like you, the sport of rodeo continues to thrive.

 

As Stampeders, we work to improve our organization and our grounds each year – we work to bring you a quality rodeo – we work to bring an economic boost to our town – and we work to further the tradition and heritage of the Old West.  We appreciate what our founders created and we’ll continue to further that tradition for as long as we are able.

 

We look forward to seeing you at the 65th Annual Elgin Stampede!

 

~Rocky
