Council approves $500 sponsorship for Emery Rodeo Club and junior rodeo
Summary
Clawson council agreed to provide $500, split as $250 each, to Emery Rodeo Club and the Southeastern Utah Junior Rodeo Club to support a UHSRA qualifying rodeo in September in Price, helping local youth pursue state and national competition.
The Clawson Town Council agreed to provide $500 in sponsorships to local rodeo organizations after representatives described how local riders rely on small sponsors to qualify for state and national contests.
At the meeting Speaker 2 introduced representatives from the Emery Rodeo Club and the Southeastern Utah Junior Rodeo Club. Speaker 4, a club representative, said the qualifying rodeo for the Utah High School Rodeo Association will be held in September and asked for sponsor support to help youth "learn and grow as agriculturalists" and qualify for state finals. "We're getting ready to post our qualifying ordeal for the UHSRA," Speaker 4 said.
Speaker 5 moved to provide $250 to each organization, "So $500," and that motion was accepted by the council by consensus. Speaker 4 noted the junior club has grown from five members last year to about 20 this year and that sponsorships enable participants to compete at state and national events; one rider said he finished in the top 30 nationally after advancing through qualifying events.
The sponsorship will be acknowledged with a 2-by-4-foot banner for a Ruby sponsor, per the council's discussion, and the council offered best wishes to the competitors. The move does not appear in the transcript as a formal roll-call vote; the motion was made on the record and carried by consensus.
Next steps: the council will process the sponsorship payment and arrange acknowledgement materials with the clubs.
