Rodeo Association votes to move forward with rodeo

The Jefferson County rodeo is on — pending approval of a health plan by the county health officer.

The Jefferson County Rodeo Association voted June 24 to move forward with the following events — barrel racing, an in-county rodeo, a three-day Northern Rodeo Association sanctioned event and a parade. The kids rodeo remains tentative as it requires coordination with the Fair Board, according to Rodeo Association President Quint Theriault.

A committee was formed to begin work on the health plan and how COVID-19 protocols will be implemented, and the Rodeo Association will also work with the Fair Board to finalize days and times.
