Residents praise tourism’s role and urge better park cleanup after rodeo
Summary
During public comment, residents said tourism brings essential revenue to Daggett County, raised concerns about horse waste left at the park after rodeo events, and discussed a mechanical-bull vendor for the Cow Country Rodeo.
Several residents used the July 7 public comment period to emphasize the importance of tourism and to press for better park maintenance after recent rodeo events. Kent Bond said, "If it wasn't for tourism we would have nothing here," underscoring comments by tourism staff who thanked volunteers and noted visitors to the museum.
Peggy White distributed photographs documenting horse waste near the restroom area after a rodeo and asked the commission to address cleanup and park rules. Jordynn Hewett relayed an inquiry about a mechanical bull vendor for the upcoming Cow Country Rodeo and recommended the county coordinate with Auditor Keri Pallesen and Attorney Snider to draft a vendor contract and ensure state tax compliance.
