Organizers seek volunteers and participants for June 5 adaptive rodeo in Sweetwater County
Summary
Representatives of the Overland Stage Stampede Rodeo announced the second annual Wild West Wranglers Adaptive Rodeo — June 5, gates 11 a.m., signups noon; last year 33 participants attended. Organizers requested volunteers, sponsors and countywide participation.
Christine Thomas, representing the Overland Stage Stampede Rodeo Committee in Green River, told the council the committee will host the second annual Wild West Wranglers Adaptive Rodeo on June 5. The event is for Sweetwater County residents and visiting family members with special needs; gates open at 11:00 a.m. and signups begin at noon.
Thomas described modified activities (stick‑horse barrel racing, roping dummies, petting and feeding a live horse) and said organizers provided shirts, hats, bandanas and donated buckles to participants last year. She recounted a participant thanking the organizers and saying the event made them "feel special," and emphasized the event is countywide and free to the public to watch. The committee asked for volunteers, donations and community attendance.
Why it matters: The adaptive rodeo provides low‑barrier sporting and recreational opportunities for people with physical and developmental disabilities in Sweetwater County and increases inclusion at a traditional community event.
Ending: Council members thanked the organizers and encouraged attendance; no action or funding request was made at the meeting.
