Congratulations to our very own Top Hand Emeritus Pat Hall and her husband, Warren Hall selected as the 2026 Driver Family Award Recipients! We are so thrilled the Driver Family selected you both for your outstanding contributions and years of dedicated service!!

Patricia Shepherd Hall and Warren Hall are being honored with the 2026 Driver Family Memorial Award for their contributions to the Ellensburg Rodeo community.

The Driver family has presented the award since 2000 to recognize people who have made a meaningful contribution to the Ellensburg Rodeo, its Hall of Fame or related activities.

The honor includes a distinctive gold and sterling silver belt buckle featuring Lo Driver and his horse Yankee.

Patricia and Warren now join a long list of recipients connected to one of Washington’s best known rodeo traditions.

Their recognition celebrates the people whose service and commitment help keep Ellensburg’s rodeo history strong for future generations.

This week, the Top Hands have been extremely busy completing various rodeo projects for ER Board and putting final touches on newly renovated venues.

Here's just a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes action!

The Top Hands had a great time at the Kickoff Breakfast and then headed back to the Ellensburg Rodeo Arena to continue to prep for our 103rd year of rodeo! Shoutout to the Ellensburg Bulldog Athletics football team for helping us out around the arena. Good luck to the Dawgs this season!

Flags are up around town! Yet another clue that the Ellensburg Rodeo is close on the calendar! Once the flags were set, the Top Hands were once again working all over the rodeo campus getting ready for yet another great Labor Day Weekend.

Count down has begun...excitment is building!!
