This symbolizes the way they came into the Kittitas Valley for years before the first settlers arrived. . . . #ellensburgrodeo2018 #eburgrodeo #labordayweekend #ellensburgwashington #ticketgiveaways #worldchampions #roadtothenfr #getyourtickets #bestinthewest #rodeotrail #rockinthearena #joediffie #jjharrison #volunteers #contribution #goldbuckleclub #yakamanation #ellensburgrodeohalloffame #tophands
