The Summit County Council of Governments held a meeting on May 21, 2024, where key discussions centered around the upcoming rodeo events and future meeting schedules.

The council confirmed that the rodeo will take place, featuring an exciting lineup that includes an "Extreme Bulls" event on the fifth night. This event will showcase 40 bull riders competing for a $35,000 purse, with the top ten riders returning for additional attempts. The council emphasized the quality of the bulls and riders expected to participate, highlighting the event's reputation and the caliber of competitors, including world champions.

In addition to the rodeo, a new event called the "Caleb End of Invitation" was announced, which will focus solely on bull riding. Currently, 30 cowboys are registered, including some of the top-ranked riders in the world. The council encouraged community participation and support for this event, scheduled for Thursday, June 25.

The meeting also addressed scheduling future gatherings. Members discussed the possibility of meeting less frequently during the summer months due to busy schedules, ultimately agreeing to reconvene on July 16. This meeting will take place at the new Three Kings Water Treatment Plant, which is the largest capital project in the city’s history, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony planned for June 24.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to community events and infrastructure development, setting the stage for an engaging summer in Summit County.
