Dear Sirs:
The Colorado High School. Rodeo Assn. is taking bids for
the 1987 State Finals Rodeo held the third week of June.
The rodeo ordinarily runs Wednesday through Saturday and
attracts families from all over the state of Colorado.
We feel the business we bring into a town makes it a very
desirable event for the merchants of the community. Colorado
tourism surveys indicate that the money brought into an area by
this type of activity is turned over 2.56 times. Using this
formula, based on the 185 contestants that competed in 1985,
we figure on a four member family spending a minimum of $150.00
aday for four days, the total of money brought into the area
would be approximately $300,000.00
The past few Finals rodeos ,were held in Pueblo and before
that in Estes Park. In 1987 the National High School Finals
Rodeo will be held in Pueblo with 1200 contestants from 33 states
and two Canadian Provinces.
The following is a brief summary of the facilities needed
by the Finals committee:
1. Rodeo arena or track large enough to be divided in order
to run two events at the same time if necessary.
2. Stalls and facilities for 200 to 250 horses.
3. Motels and restaurants.
4. Facilities for approximately fifty RVs and campers.
5. Places for meetings and contestant dances.
In addition, we ask the sponsoring organization to do the
following, either through a local high school rodeo club or
themselves:
1. Sell ads for the rodeo program, approximately $5000.00
worth of ads.
2. Assist with publicity locally for the rodeo, radio and
television interviews, press releases, etc.
3. Donate or secure donation for two All Around Cowboy and
Cowgirl saddles.
