County committee moves Mill Road request to full board; approves $1,000 for Montrose rodeo
Loading...
Summary
Mill Road Threshermans Association requested $10,000 to expand its September tractor show; the committee agreed to send the request to the full board pending a detailed budget. Separately, the committee approved $1,000 for More for Montrose’s rodeo with one abstention.
Taylor Feldkamp, treasurer of the Mill Road Threshermans Association, described the event’s expansion and asked the committee for $10,000 to support additional ground rental, advertising and an FFA day as the show moves to Sept. 10–13. "We are requesting, $10,000 to invest in the growth of Mill Road," Feldkamp said, noting the event had attracted entries from 15 states last year and will use more acreage in 2026.
Committee members welcomed the request but asked for a line‑item narrative showing how the funds would be spent (for example, acres rented at $300 per acre). Josh moved to forward the application to the full board pending a detailed cost submission; the motion carried.
On a separate hotel/motel request, Trisha and Holly Herbert spoke for More for Montrose, asking for $1,000 to advance a two‑day rodeo and related vendor activity they said will draw visitors and overnight stays. The committee voted to approve $1,000, with Jeremy recorded as abstaining.
Both items will appear before the full county board for final action; the Mill Road request was sent with the committee’s recommendation pending receipt of a detailed budget.
