Gawd, do I have GREAT memories of the Round Up.  Used to go during the 90's.  Fav memories revolve around the Happy Canyon pagent and the dances.  Learned how to Western Swing just so I could dance with a cowboy.  And, the Sunbowl is GONE now?  Replaced by a fancy grandstand?  Say it isn't so!  Loved the rogue behavior in the Sunbowl.  Buckets of beer being hauled up to the grandstand's top with twine.  Also, appreciated touring the Indian Village.  All the teepees and families hanging out. Hope to get back some day.  Let'er Buck!
