New Mexico Rodeo Association seeks lodgers-tax support for October championship rodeo
Summary
The New Mexico Rodeo Association requested promotional funding for its Oct. 2–3, 2026 championship rodeo in Clovis, saying contestants come from multiple states and organizers expect several hundred attendees including families and staff.
A remote representative of the New Mexico Rodeo Association asked the board for lodgers-tax support for the year-end championship rodeo set for Oct. 2–3, 2026, saying last year’s enclosed event was successful and that contestants and families travel from several states.
"This is for the New Mexico Rodeo Association. We have our year end rodeo, so it's our championship rodeo for the year 2026," the representative said, noting about 150 contestants plus family members and staff brings total attendance to roughly 300–350 people and that organizers plan to use city logos on jackets and banners for promotion. The applicant requested funds for jackets and for branded saddles and said previous lodgers-tax support "helped immensely."
Board members noted lodgers tax cannot be used for prize money or staff costs and suggested applicants remove ineligible line items from future budgets; the board approved $10,000 to the finals rodeo as part of its allocations vote.
