Estate sale find, vintage original program for the 14th Mololla Buckaroo Rodeo, Mololla, Oregon, July 3-4-5, 1937 with several local business advertisements. It was in 1913 that Molalla became part of that Cowboy Christmas list - a list that was much shorter than it is today. Molalla's crossroads were emerging--the town was growing and prospecting right along with its timber and farming industries. As the town continued to grow, the town's people became more and more anxious for a railroad that would connect this area to the rest of the state and country. Finally, On Sept. 9, 1913, the Portland, Eugene and Eastern Trailway came to Molalla and gave Molalla a vital link to the outside world. The idea of a rodeo was born from the town's desire to celebrate the arrival of the train--making the Buckeroo Roundup, as it was known, the third established rodeo taking place in Oregon. The Buckeroo, which was originally held in fields near town, grew rapidly in its first few years, and the date was eventually changed to the first week of July to celebrate the birth of the nation. Initially local firefighters sponsored the event as a way to raise funds for equipment needed to fight the town's fires. In 1923, the Molalla Buckeroo Association was formed and took over operation of the rodeo. The Buckeroo Association began construction of an arena soon after taking over the operation and in 1925 the rodeo had its first permanent home. Each year, as the Buckeroo celebration and rodeo drew near, the town found itself in a spirited and festive mood, much as it does today. The Fourth of July Parade, now known as the Giant Street parade, is also a traditional part of the celebration.
