Re; Tri -County High School Rodeo application for Economic Development Grant.
Dear Commissioners,
My name is Casey Lyons. I am the advisor for the "Tri -County High School
Rodeo Club". I would like to thank you for your past support and donations to
the Central Oregon High School Rodeo Club. Your generosity is greatly
appreciated by all the parents and student of the club.
I have enclosed an application for the " Deschutes County Economic
Development Fund Discretionary Grant Program" for assistance with our May
rodeo.
Thank you for your time. If there are additional questions, please feel free to
contact me at 541-388-4649.
Sincerely,
Casey Lyons
1. High school rodeo was created to give school students the opportunity to
participate and compete in this unique and challenging sport. Our local
student athletes are not only members of the "Tri -County High School
Rodeo Club" but also member of the "Oregon High School Rodeo
Association" and the"National High School Rodeo Association".
The OHSRA involves over 300 students and their families who live
throughout the state. We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to the
development of sportsmanship, horsemanship and character in the youth
of our communities. We stress the importance of education by requiring
high academic standards in order to compete and help teach life skills
such as leadership, responsibility, dedication and commitment.
We are an independent student athletic association without assistance
from tax dollars. With the support from their families, this local club and
our communities help these athletes gain the resources to participate in
this great sport. The Club is dedicated to promoting and maintaining an
enthusiastic interest in the sport of high school rodeo and promoting the
highest type of moral conduct and sportsmanship among it's aspiring
cowboy and cowgirl athletes.
2. Every year the students produce and promote their annual high school
rodeo held in May. The expenses incurred by the club are covered only
with the assistance from Deschutes County, volunteers, contributions and
business & personal support. The grant would be used to help offset the
expenses incurred for our 2012 rodeo.
3. This coming year the Tri -County High School Rodeo will be held in May
(Mothers Day weekend). We will begin organizing other funding for our
production of this rodeo in January and February.
4. The Tri -County High School Rodeo will improve the economic
development in the Central Oregon area and Deschutes County by
bringing to the area an expected 600+ people including our rodeo
contestants, their families and supporters. These people would be
utilizing the community and supporting our local merchants through
lodging, food, fuel, shopping etc. in production of our rodeo.
5. Our local high school contestants who are competing are the direct
recipients. The rodeo provides the students with an opportunity to display
their athletic abilities and skills. Each contestant has the equal
opportunity to display his or her own abilities. The local group of young
cowboys and cowgirls benefit from the experience of being part of a team
and learning the advantages of working together for the common goal,
while learning leadership and organizational skills.
If there are funds left after all expenses are paid, those funds are used
solely for the members education and future or rodeo.
The area merchants benefit from the influx of rodeo contestants and their
families using and buying the available services and merchandise.
The local public benefits by being offered the opportunity to watch and
support our local and non -local talented athletes and by the opportunity to
enjoy a part of American heritage and the great sport of rodeo.
6. Our sources of revenues are as follows:
• Rodeo entry fee
• Gate receipts
• Program Sales
• Sponsorship program
We have enclosed a copy of our anticipated income and expenses for our
