RE: Central Oregon High School Rodeo application for Economic Development Grant
Dear Mr. Daly, Ms. Baney , Mr. Luke
My name is Casey Lyons, I am the Advisor for the Central Oregon High School Rodeo
Club. I would like to thank you for your past support and donations you have made to the
Central Oregon High School Rodeo Club. Your generosity is greatly appreciated by all of
the parents and students of the club.
I have enclosed a 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, fell free to contact me at 388-
4649.
Sincerely,
Casey Lyons
Central Oregon High School Rodeo Club

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 Oregon High School Rodeo Club, but also members of the Oregon High
School Rodeo Association as well as the National High School Rodeo Association.
The OHSRA involves over 300 students and their families who live throughout the State.
We are non-profit organizations 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 independent student athletic associations without assistance from tax dollars.
Support from their families, this local club, and our communities help these athletes gain
the resources to participate in this great sport. COHSRC 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 its aspiring cowboy and cowgirl
athletes.

Every year the Central Oregon High School Rodeo Club produces and promotes their
annual high school rodeo held in may . The expenses incurred by the club are covered
only with the assistance from Deschutes County, volunteers, business and personal
support and contributions. This grant would be used to help offset the expenses incurred
for our 2009 rodeo.
3
This coming year the Central Oregon High School Rodeo will be held in May on Mothers
Day weekend We will begin organizing other funding for our production of this rodeo in
January and February.
4
The Central Oregon High School Rodeo will improve the economic development in the
Central Oregon area as well as Deschutes County by bringing to this area an expected
600+ people including our rodeo contestants, their families, friends, and supporters.
These people would be utilizing the community and supporting our local merchants
through lodging, food, fuel, shopping, etc. in the 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 as follows:
50% is divided equally among the COHSRC members who participate in the production
of the rodeo, going directly into their rodeo fund to be used solely for their future rodeo or
education expenses, 25% is used for year-end awards and travel expenses for students
who qualify for the Silver State Rodeo or National Finals, 15% to the booster club for
operational expenses, and 10% into a fund that pays the students entry fee to qualifiers for
our State rodeo, with any balance from this fund being paid into participating students
rodeo fund and would be prorated by their school GPA.
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.
