With Memorial Day upon us, we’ve uncovered some old images of the Snap Dragon Hole and Rodeo Hole on the Wenatchee River (Washington). The Snap Dragon Hole, our namesake was the perfect wave for hosting many rodeos. The images we have are thanks to Rob Lesser who was photographing the ‘83 and ‘85 Wenatchee Rodeos.

Regreatably a flood in 1992 wiped out the hole but the memories live on.
