Rodeo recruitment efforts led by Economic Development Council derailed by CRA board
Body
Efforts by the Economic Development Council to bring more rodeo events to Canadian seemed, until recently, to be paying off—not only for rodeo competitors and their fans, but also for local retailers who welcomed the influx of visitors, and who benefitted from the shoppers and diners it brought into their businesses. Three of those merchants visited this month’s EDC board meeting and, in public comment, voiced their concerns that three rodeos originally scheduled to be held here were abruptly moved to other venues.
