Each year, the Pendleton Round-Up & Happy Canyon Hall of Fame membership selects a new class of inductees into the prestigious Hall of Fame. Nominees are submitted for various categories, which can include contestants, volunteers, contract personnel, animal, and Native Americans, and members of the Hall of Fame have the opportunity to vote on the nominees. Inductees are announced each spring, with an Inductee Banquet held during Round-Up to honor the year’s inductees. Inductees are also introduced during a presentation in the famous Pendleton Round-Up Arena on the Wednesday of Round-Up week each year.

This year’s inductees include;
- Contestant Category, Fred Whitefield
