Grantsville council praises rodeo volunteers and endorses plan to pair bronc event with Honey Harvest Festival
Summary
Council honored the rodeo committee for reviving the community rodeo and heard a committee proposal to stage a “Battle of the Bronx” bronc-riding event Oct. 10 tied to the Honey Harvest Festival, with organizers reporting nearly $30,000 in sponsor interest and asking for council direction.
Mayor Heidi Hammond opened the meeting by praising the volunteers who revived the Grantsville Rodeo and presenting a mayor’s award to members of the rodeo committee and city public-works staff. “The success of this year's rodeo was truly a community effort,” Mayor Hammond said, thanking parks and roads departments and reading the names of committee members being recognized.
A rodeo committee representative showed photos and a short video of this year’s event and proposed staging a bronc-riding attraction, “Battle of the Bronx,” on Saturday, Oct. 10 to dovetail with the Honey Harvest Festival. The presenter said sponsorship interest was strong — “almost $30,000 worth of sponsorship, guaranteed” — and asked council for direction on scheduling and logistics. Council members responded positively, noting the festival draws large crowds and that the event could be a complementary attraction. Council asked the committee to continue planning and report back with a detailed event proposal and any required permits or public‑works support.
