The Sumas Roundup Association was formed by following Sumas businessmen. C.M. Eneix, A.W. Linn, C.L. Miller, C.D. Soule, and George I. Dunlap.
The Start of the Sumas Roundup rose up from a little fair that was held in Sumas. When the fair building burned down in 1923; the townsmen decided to hold a rodeo as a supplement to the annual fair. The rodeo was such a rousing success it was decided to do away with the fair and focus totally on the Roundup.
Over the next few postings I will be sharing exciting photos and stories of the little remembered Sumas Roundup, which was once a crowning glory for our town.

This brochure advertises the 1928 Sumas Roundup and lists the events, prizes, rules and includes an entry form.
"Let'er Buck" from the Pendleton Round-Up... Enjoyed this, wish the Sumas R-Up was still around, as it would be a perfect bookend to Pendleton.
