Commissioners waive Crook County fairgrounds fees for 2025 Pee Wee Rodeo
Summary
The Crook County Board of Commissioners approved a fee waiver to allow the Central Oregon Pee Wee Association to hold the 2025 Pee Wee Rodeo and banquet at the Crook County Fairgrounds; commissioners said funds will be reimbursed from a community fund.
The Crook County Board of Commissioners voted to approve a fee waiver for the 2025 Central Oregon Pee Wee Rodeo and banquet at the Crook County Fairgrounds.
Commissioners said the county will reimburse the fairgrounds from a community fund. The motion to approve the fee waiver was made and seconded with no discussion before a roll call that registered three affirmative votes.
Young contestants and association representatives addressed the commissioners at the meeting. Several children described the events they compete in — barrel racing, pole bending, goat tying, breakaway roping and team roping — and the association’s president, Craig Nier, told commissioners the organization is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) that gives back to the community. Nier requested the waiver to reduce operating costs and support contestant opportunities.
Commissioners praised the contestants and the association for community involvement. After the vote, county staff said the reimbursement will come from the community fund used to support fairground activities.
No formal conditions or amendments to the fee waiver were recorded in the meeting minutes provided.
