The Yoga Roundup is the first recipient of Travel Pendleton's new event grant.
The $5,000 grant, the maximum anyone can receive for the grant, comes from the Tourism Promotion Assessment Commission, which goes by the name Travel Pendleton. The TPAC receives its funding from Pendleton lodging taxes.
Wife and husband Tania and Cedric Wildbill created The Yoga Roundup, a new Oregon limited liability company. Tania Wildbill and James Dewar had formed the Pendleton Yoga Round Up, which in April drew almost 3,000 participants to the Red Lion in Pendleton. Tania Wildbill said she will dissolve the partnership with Dewar. Next year's Yoga Roundup is scheduled for Aug. 20/22 at the Pendleton Convention Center.
'Thanks to the Travel Pendleton grant, we can continue our work on the 2010 Yoga Roundup,' Tania Wildbill said in a written statement. 'It's our intention to bring participants to Pendleton from all over the country to enjoy several days of yoga, dance and great music, for a no charge weekend to let go and destress amidst our chaotic lives.'
Cedric Bill said the yoga round up is an opportunity to share the rich culture and history of the city of Pendleton and the Umatilla Indian Reservation with participants from across the United States.
TPAC Chairwoman Heather Sandford said the commission believes the Yoga Roundup has 'great potential for years to come and we are happy to help Tania and Cedric to build on the success of last year's event.'
