From all accounts, it was a great weekend for the 50th Fort Dalles Pro Rodeo.  Rodeo Association President Damon Hulit says ticket sales and other revenues were up for all three nights of the event.  For the board that runs the rodeo, the attention now turns to the future.  A long anticipated sale of the former Northwest Aluminum property the Milt Tumilson Arena sits on is rumored to be near closing, but Hulit says they have been through this before, and they have to wait to see what happens.  Hulit adds the rodeo will start planning for next year as they usually do, noting they book acts in fall and usually wrap up getting the contract personnel in place in late November.
