Josephine County proclaims April 5–12, 2025 Rogue Valley Rough Stock Rodeo Days
Summary
The Board of Commissioners proclaimed the week of April 5–12, 2025 Rogue Valley Rough Stock Rodeo Days and invited rodeo organizers to comment on community benefits.
The Josephine County Board of Commissioners proclaimed the week of April 5 through April 12, 2025 as Rogue Valley Rough Stock Rodeo Days at its weekly business session.
Commissioner Barnett read the proclamation, saying the Rogue Valley Rough Stock Rodeo brings contestants and spectators from other states, supports local economic activity by using the Josephine County Fairgrounds and highlights western traditions. The proclamation cites the event’s contribution to family entertainment and learning about western culture.
Rodeo representatives who came forward included DJ Longbrake and Shannon (last name not specified in the record). DJ Longbrake said he has been involved in the Rogue Valley Rough Stock Rodeo for 11 years and helps produce the event; Shannon said the community of Grants Pass is welcoming and that the rodeo promotes downtown businesses and related activities such as an after‑party called Toast a Barrel. Commissioner Barnett noted the proclamation contained a typographical error in the event name and said the county will correct it to ‘‘Rogue Valley Rough Stock Rodeo.’’
Commissioners encouraged residents to attend the rodeo; one commissioner said they planned to attend. The board presented the proclamation to the named representatives during the meeting.
