Emery rodeo clubs ask for sponsorship; council member moves to give $500
Summary
Representatives of the Emery Rodeo Club and the Southeastern Utah Junior Rodeo Club asked the Clawson Town Council for sponsorship to support qualifying rodeos. A council member moved to provide two $250 sponsorships ($500 total); no formal vote was recorded in the transcript.
Representatives of the Emery Rodeo Club and the Southeastern Utah Junior Rodeo Club asked the Clawson Town Council for sponsorship to host a qualifying event for the Utah High School Rodeo Association (UHSRA). The clubs said sponsorships help local competitors qualify for state and national competition.
A junior competitor told the council that sponsorship funds helped pay travel and entry costs and that she finished among the top 30 in the nation at a recent national high-school finals rodeo. The competitor said clubs used last year’s support to expand local participation: Southeastern Utah’s junior club grew from five members to 20 members this year, and the clubs plan to host two back-to-back rodeos.
A council member moved to provide $250 to each club (total $500). The transcript records the motion being made but does not record a formal vote or final tally.
Council members and the meeting chair offered good wishes to the competitors and noted that sponsors typically receive a two-by-four-foot banner for a “Ruby” sponsorship level. The clubs asked that sponsorship funds support local youth agricultural education and opportunities to qualify for state and national rodeos.
