Clawson council hears request from Castle Country Classic Livestock Show; motion made to sponsor belt buckle
Summary
A guest representing the Castle Country Classic Livestock Show described the event’s history and asked the council to sponsor a $100 belt buckle; council members discussed adding an additional $50 donation and received an invoice, but the transcript does not record a formal roll-call vote.
A guest representing the Castle Country Classic Livestock Show asked the Clawson Town Council to sponsor a belt buckle for the local youth livestock jackpot held annually for Carbon and Emery County youth.
The guest, identified in the record as Tisha, told the council the event began in 2020 after the state canceled the fair and has continued each year. "We started the show in 2020, the year of COVID, because the state shut our fairing show down, and we have a lot of youth in the county that had already put a lot of time and money into their projects," Tisha said. She said the show is a full jackpot: "We don't sell animals, but every dollar that's donated to us and the kids pay $10 per animal to show goes right back to the kids. It's a complete jackpot."
Tisha asked the council to sponsor a belt buckle at a cost of $100. A council member moved to purchase the belt buckle and another council member seconded the motion. During discussion, one council member also proposed adding $50 on top of the belt buckle for local youth; that proposal was seconded. The guest provided an invoice and the address for mailing a check before leaving. The transcript records the motions and seconds but does not record a formal roll-call or tally for either motion.
Why it matters: Council sponsorships and small grants like this are routine ways small towns support extracurricular and youth agricultural programs. Tisha said the show typically pays prizes back to youth (examples given ranged from "$110" down to "$7" depending on placing) and provides belt buckles, banners and jackets.
Additional details: Council members noted there are about 10 Clawson youth who attend the show. The guest confirmed the group does raffles and other fundraising; she said the raffle proceeds also go back to the youth.
The guest left an invoice and the council did not record a formal vote in the transcript.
Ending: The council did not record a formal roll-call vote in the transcript; the guest was given an invoice and mailing instructions at the meeting.
