Round Up Day - May 10?

Hi. I've been working with family photos from the 1930-1950's. My family came from Great Falls, and several photos reference "Round Up Day - May 10." I've looked on the web, but can't find any reference to that particular celebration or event. Can you help me figure out what that date represented, and what the celebration was about? (There's a photo of one family member as a child, dressed up like a cowboy, for example - several years later I have several photos of two girls dressed as hobos for the day.)

Thank you!

(My mother and most of her family came from Great Falls; last names include O'Reilly, Robin, French, Moon, Horan, Boyle, Sutherland, Haefer; Josephine O'Reilly Robin and Olin Comstock Moon were my great grandparents.)

Ms. Eidson, 

I am not familiar with this event.  You could reach out to the History Museum here in Great Falls.  I am sure they would have some information about the event.  they can be reached at 406-452-3462.  The link to their website is: https://www.greatfallshistorymuseum.org/archives 

Thanks and have a great day.  Krista
